Years ago I used to have to go to a small military base. (which most people didn't know about)
There were only a handful of military there, a couple handfuls of 'civilians', and some pretty nice waterfront property.
The civilian who escorted me around the base was driving a nice volvo, and everyone else was driving a pretty decent car.
It turns out all the cars used on the base were confiscated on federal property, and for some reason, not sold.
Once a month a car carrier delivered a new load of cars. When the truck showed up everyone beat feet to the parking lot. The employees on the base got to pick out one to drive, but only on the base. When the car got a flat, or some reason needed even a minor repair, they took it back to the parking lot and picked out a different car. The 'failed' car was then transported out to the bombing or firing range...and blown up, filled with holes, or otherwise damaged. (by some pretty neat toys)
