“Autos Katrina”

Katrina-ravaged cars being sold in Bolivia

Excerpt:

Suspected Katrina cars — with their jittery wiring, sand in the cracks and the telltale mildewed stink — have cropped up in a number of countries, but Bolivia has become a particular target. One local environmental agency believes 10,000 or more flooded U.S. cars may have ended up in the landlocked nation, drawn by loose import rules, a thriving smugglers’ economy and an insatiable hunger for cheap wheels.

Comment: Trace the history of a cute red Mini Cooper from a graduation gift, to New Orleans, to Bolivia! I'm sure the Bolivians appreciate this!
