They start out the article with comments about the government’s computer system crashing, not being able to handle the dealer’s information that must be plugged in. Think $700 screwdriver.
But what followed was even more amazing. The car dealers must destroy the engines of the cars that come in. One story they relate is of a 1988 BMW with 214,000 miles on it. In the normal BMW life expectancy, that’s about middle aged. But the dealers are forced to actually pour a sodium silicate solution in the engine which hardens into a glass-like substance that seizes upthe engine and it is dead within seconds. What a waste!
