- Yes it WAS true. This event occured over a year ago (give or take a
- couple of months). The anti-freeze supplier sent the wrong stuff and it got put
- in thew cars before anyone realized it (I think the shipment was actually marked
- as the right stuff -- but it obviously wasn't correct)

- I really don't know. They gave everyone who had bought one of these
- vehicles brand new replacement cars. I would guess they probably salveged what
- parts they could and scrapped (or recycled) the rest.
