Why not add a little humor once it is ready for the junkyard!

Who, I want this!  Dodge Dart was the bomb!

This car is not only super eco-friendly but tasty also!

I love street art!

This cop car is probably going to be heading to the wrecking yard!

OK, when your car is repaired like this it is time to send it to the junk yard!

A Mexican man was released without charges after a traffic stop for speeding in Texas Wednesday morning led police to discover more than $180,000 of suspected drug money hidden in the car.

Police stopped the car for speeding on Interstate 35 near Natalia, Texas, a city north of the U.S.-Mexico border outside San Antonio, My SA News reported.

A city officer found $184,275 hidden in compartments inside the front fenders of the Ford Fiesta, the newspaper reported.

The driver, Edgar A. Silva Flores, of Mexico, said he had recently purchased the car and didn’t know anything about the money.

The city and prosecutor’s office will split the suspected drug money, the newspaper reported.

Now what about cars that are nearly ticket-proof? If you don’t want to send checks to the DMV or the court, get an SUV or minivan. Best, get a Buick Rainier. Average age 61, 71 percent driven by men. Cops pretty much ignore them.

Here is some great (not so crappy) news from the UK.  Bio-fuel pellets made from horse manure will help power the new barracks of the Royal Horse Artillery, the Ministry of Defense announced.

Recycled waste and bedding from the regiment’s 111 horses will provide enough low-carbon energy to cover the heating and lighting requirements of the ceremonial unit’s new base in Woolwich, southeast London .

The MoD said the eco-friendly move was in line with the government’s sustainable development agenda and just one of several steps being taken to promote sustainability in the mounted regiment’s future home.

“We are using the latest energy conservation techniques in our barracks,” an MoD spokesman said Monday.

The King’s Troop, an equestrian unit that performs ceremonial duties on state occasions, plan to move to their new headquarters in November 2011
