And some of it is destroyed!!!!!
Case in point: Dept. of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, Tennessee
National Wildlife Refuge, Duck River Unit, Winter 1999. 4- M274 (some with
upgrade kits, some that run) crushed by bulldozer, carried to local landfill
and buried.
My questions are: Shouldn't there be documentation of this? How was this
possible? and,If it was wrong, shouldn't some one be held accountable? I
believe it probably was wrong. I've seen 10 yr. old Dodge pickups with blown
engines that were more trouble in paperwork than they were worth sold at
these sites. Then they get something that is hard to find and WORTH
something and it's destroyed. GO FIGURE!
I'm sorry friends, I just had to vent, I feel better now.
