    When you thought you seen it all

    One of the things i'm also in charge at my dealership is putting cars out to pasture.Actaully these cars are left over from the Cash for Clunkers program.This one came to me on Friday and had to share these pictures.I've seen some wild Rube Goldberg things over the years but this one takes the cake.And We actaully took it for a ride around the dealership and got some great looks.The said part is they got $3500.00 for it.On to the pictures don't laugh to hard and remember someone did drive this.

    Can you say clear coat failure

    And now for the money shots

    That is actually a pretty common conversion for rural mail carriers. It wasn't easy to get a RHD vehicle in the US until recently. I think Saturn makes some for mail carriers.

    It was probably traded in as a C4C because it probably has a gazillion miles on it.
