Katrina cars land in Bolivia

Apparently one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

According to an article from the Associated Press, some cars which were ruined by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina have been repaired and resold to undeveloped countries such as Bolivia:

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.

I suppose those cars would go great with those discarded “Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Champions” caps and shirts.
