Cash for Clunkers: The WTF File

We all knew that cash for clunkers was a stupid idea. Seems it was a worse idea yet for the fools who traded in exotic sports and luxury cars in the program. According to the Detroit Free Press, the clunkers WTF file includes a 1997 Aston Martin DB7 like the one above, a 1985 Maserati, a Shelby Cobra replica, a 1997 Bentley and a 1987 Buick GNX.
The Freep found the cars by combing through federal clunkers program data. The data doesn't mention the condition of the cars, or the mind set of owners willing to give up a Maserati for a few thousand bucks toward a Camry. Nor does it tell which junkyard received the windfall. But we doubt these cars wound up in the crusher.
