  1. The butthurt over CFC (so many years past its brief impact) is hilarious. Most of what got scrapped was no loss while providing MANY donor vehicles for salvage to keep other machines running. People outside the salvage industry don't tend to know how it works. CFC yielded many accessories, body parts, whole interiors (great for fixing Copart buys which is what I did when I worked for a used car lot), front clips, fenders, truck beds (beds are not cabs so those were fair game and we got our share) wheels, suspension parts, rear ends and more. A few desirable machines got zapped but most went to salvage yards (who were entitled to buy them provided they snuffed the engines and crushed the hulls) thereafter to be profitable parts sources. Nearly EVERY old vehicle meets the shredder. If you're too slow to score what you want through poor planning that's a USER error.

  2. Anyone seriously wanting a turboshaft (turboshafts are not "jets", jet mech here) can buy a turbine ground power unit then use that to power their preferred electric drivetrain (works for turbine locomotives which have impressive low end torque thanks to that arrangement). The combo could be quite beastly and "Dash 60"s have been around since the 1960s. Turbines with simple hydromechanical fuel controls that trim to temperature are what make multifuel use so convenient.
