It's no doubt related to the same sort of foolish mentality that
exists in the Maryland government, where our esteemed idiot governor,
Paris Spenddenning (quite possibly with the help of associate guvner
Kathleen "Chappaquiddick" Townwrecker) has discouraged junkyards from
keeping any cars over 10 years old in stock for more than a few days;
the old cars are scrapped quickly so that heavy taxes can be avoided.
Of course, we all know the real reason for all this, right? It has
nothing to to with being good to the environment... the purpose is to
help biz droids sell new cars and new computer software, etc. that
people might not otherwise purchase.
