I drive by a junk yard every day on my way to work and back. I think alot of the "cash for clunker" cars are now starting to show up at the yards. This yard is overflowing with vehicles. They've got so many that they've had to resort to filling their customer parking lot, and "front yard" with cars. There has to be at least 200 to 300 cars outside of their actual yard. In the 3 years I've been driving by this yard, I've never seen them park cars outside of their locked gates/fence until now.

While the rules may have changed, it is my understanding that CFC cars had to go directly to the crusher in their entirety. That's what was so effed up about the whole project, charities don't get the donation money, and some have certainly felt the bite from this project, and parts recyclers don't get to recycle any parts, and they are angry about that.

Perhaps, if they are CFC cars, they are just waiting their time in the crusher.

I thought it was just the motors that couldn't be re-used, but I think I remember hearing/reading something along those lines that the whole car was to be crushed because I thought that it's just gonna hurt the folks who can't afford a new car or heck even new parts, which didn't really seem right.

The engines had to be run with the magic crystals until it died, then they had to try to fire it again after some time to make sure it wouldn't start. I believe the dealers decided what to do with the cars, but many of them went to the salvage yards.
