Blame the lawyers.

That being said, the main point of concern was that any of these cars would EVER end up being possibly sold. Even if they were donated to some worthwhile charity that agreed NEVER to sell them, all it would take is one vehicle to be resold to an unsuspecting buyer who drives it into a bridge abutment. It doesn't even matter if the car was damaged or not, the idiot juries who would sit on the case would hear about how these cars sat sideways for weeks and all of the things that might be wrong with them. In the end, as long as they found Mazda 1% guilty, odds are the car maker would be on the hook for millions.

My only suggestion that would have solved this was to gut the cars of their engines and use sell the chassis. Fire departments would have loved to use them to train recruits with the jaws-of-life.

Our company sent these out last December as our corporate holiday card. We got such a huge positive reaction from them. People loved them!

As Drillbit Taylor warns, anything can be used as a weapon, even a puppy (or hedgehog).

I've wondered why this idea has taken this long. I've worked at restaurants all of my life and always thought it weird that in the winter time I'd walk (freezing!) from my car into a warm restaurant, then down to the basement into the walk-in cooler that was pumping out its own heat.

I love how they rock the Russian mullet - Perestroika in the front, Communist Party in the back.

Hey! It's the guy from the Sonic commercials!

#15 - that's a completely irrelevant analogy. More accurately it would be "no one forces women to BUY short skirts, but don't feel sorry for them when the credit card bill comes."

Payday loans have their place, and can help people who need them and use them properly. Like anything else, knowing the consequences of your actions is core to personal responsibility. That being said, like anything else there are isolated instances where one side or the other took advantage of the situation. That shouldn't be a call to throw the whole thing away, though. There are individuals who cheat the Social Security administration out of money. I don't think you'd advocate to put that system out of business, would you?
