Though the most popular vehicle destroyed under Cash For Clunkers was the Ford Explorer, there were also AMGs, Rolls-Royces and even a LaForza crushed. The ten most exotic cars that fools parted with below. Click through if you dare.
We'd point out these vehicles have to have been insured and driven for a year, so it's not as if these were merely broken shells of these exotic makes.
