That's some shady stuff.
I been hearing a new version of the radio ad where the jingle start then an announcer says something like "wait, before you change the station," then a rockier version of the jingle is played. If I never hear either again I'll be fine.

Kars4Kids Lawsuit Accuses Charity of Using Deceptive Ads to Solicit Donations for ‘Misrepresented Purposes’
Kars4Kids faces a proposed class action lawsuit that alleges the charity has deceived unwitting consumers into donating their vehicles for “undisclosed and misrepresented purposes,” namely to fund a separate entity that promotes orthodox Jewish ideology in New York and New Jersey.
The 45-page RICO lawsuit alleges that although Kars4Kids represents in ubiquitous television and radio advertisements that vehicle donations help local children in need regardless of any racial, ethnic or religious affiliation, cars donated to the charity are used to fund New Jersey-based co-defendant Oorah Inc., an organization whose stated mission is to develop orthodox Jewish children and families.
The case also claims Kars4Kids, unbeknownst to donors, uses “the vast majority” of donation proceeds to fund its own and Oorah’s “significant” expenses and investments.
The filing contends that Kars4Kids, despite multiple government investigations and private lawsuits over the “misleading nature” of its solicitation advertisements, has continued to broadcast misleading ads nationwide, while donors are not properly informedthat their donations are used “almost exclusively to fund its orthodox ‘outreach’ activities directed solely at Jewish families.”

Let's see why this journalist would never in 1,000 years donate his car to this awful charity -- even before the scam allegations:
1. The nails-on-a-chalkboard commercials with whiny kids singing;
b) The fact I drive my cars until they're dead and pushed to the used car dealer;
iii: Don't spell "cars" witih a f**king K!
