Seizing up engines for the government...
The yanks have apparently reached a new level of stupidity.
Like the UK, they introduced a scrappage scheme in 2009. If you scrapped your old banger and bought a new one, you got 4500$ from the government.
However, since politicians were worried that the old cars might not really end up in a shredder, they introduced a guide line for dealers/scrappers on how to destroy every single engine.
Basically it said: Drain the oil, fill in sodium silicate and run the engine till it seizes up.
Youtube is full of videos about it, just type "Cash For Clunker" in the search.

That's a good one, too. You can see how environmental friendly the program was:
