Car Crushing.
 

It actually hurts to watch.
Then I can't help but laugh at how cute the hondas look after.

not gonna lie, id cry if i saw my car being crushed

As much as I'd like to see those street racing fckers getting their cars crushed, I also think it's just stupid to even waste any time and money in doing this. I mean was there even a need for that bored police to be there getting paid to be entertained? Waste money on some bomb just to see the car get blown? Why not just dismantle the entire car, sell the parts at cheap prices, and give away the money to reputable charities.

Sell those rims to me!! :(

I entered my car in the CFOX car crusher event last year. It would have been nice to see a newer car with mods get crushed, yet they chose an older POS that no-one cared about crushing.

Those cops should send the video to the owners of those cars.

JqC 10-16-2010 11:35 PM

BTW, this totally reminded me of car crushing in GTA3.

I think they're trying to make it a public spectacle as a way to humiliate the owners and make people think twice before they decide to street. A visual negative reinforcement if you will. I don't think they do this to every car, don't they usually auction them off or something?

well at least those were only civics and integra, but would suck anyways if it was your car. The crushing was fuckin brutal!

Drift_Monkey 10-17-2010 01:38 AM

Look at their evil smiles at 2:50. They are very satisfied

RabidRat 10-17-2010 02:03 AM

This is childish and irresponsible at best.

It's an absolute waste of money that could've gone to much better use. How many sick or starving people in need could've been helped out with the money that would've come from selling these cars off?

TypeRNammer 10-17-2010 02:27 AM

Wow, ripping out motors like they were nothing.

van_driver 10-17-2010 08:40 AM

shit... those cars aren't the most expensive out there but sad to see all the work the owners put in go to waste

felt like I was watching a gory video

slammer111 10-17-2010 11:16 AM

Anyone know if those cars were actually street racing, or just all caught going 50km/h over?

What a waste of rims..

boostfever 10-17-2010 11:25 AM

this happened in california, they were probably racing as well as going over the limit.

jstn86 10-17-2010 11:27 AM

I believe the 4 cars that OPP crushed couple years ago were cars with stolen parts on them. Perhaps the same reason for the ones in the video?

It's a publicity stunt by the police to discourage doing stupid stuff on the road.

Kinda like sticking in your gf's sister's bum after you catch your gf cheating on you.

So you can say "HAHA" afterwards?

Berzerker 10-17-2010 11:39 AM

NSFW that shit broski that was disgusting and shocking!!!


Ok. Here is my 2 cents on this video. This video was only made for publicity and I'm calling complete BULLSHIT for the following reasons.

1. the plates were still on the cars. 2 the tires and rims were still on the cars. If you ever go to a real crusher they take the rims off because the rubber isn't supposed to go in the scrap metal pile AT ALL!!

This was a pathetic attempt to invoke a OH SHIT emotion and it failed. I could care less if people get their car taken away for street racing and crushed. You get caught you know the consequences simple. However the blatant disregard for the parts and the value of those parts on the cars pisses me off. They could have funded a lot of anti street racing video's and campaigns with the parts from those cars. I saw a turbo kit, a GSR engine in that first EG and then the rims and shit as well. Easily 10 grand worth of parts could have been taken off those cars before hand and STILL have been crushed and made an example of.
I would be more pissed off knowing the police sold my parts at an auction than knowing they were in car heaven.

Berz out.

SpuGen 10-17-2010 11:54 AM

The parts were stolen.

It's not exactly ethical to re-sell stolen parts.
It would've taken alot of work just to re-distribute the stolen parts back to thier rightful owners.

As a car guy, yes it hurts to watch. Yes they could've done something better with the cars.
But blame the owners who stole parts and used them to street race.

I'd rather see them get crushed, than wrapped around a pole with a pedestrian pinned inbetween.

Mugen EvOlutioN 10-17-2010 12:00 PM

lame

RRxtar 10-17-2010 12:06 PM

They should drop the crushed cars off back in the owners driveway and legally require the car to stay the period of time the owners licence is suspended for. a year?

that way, as the owner walks out his front door to catch the bus everyday, he gets to see his car as a reminder.

Berzerker 10-17-2010 12:09 PM

Actually SpuGen the police frequently auction off stolen parts in fact they do it regularly. If they can't find the rightful owners of the parts they go to auction. I should know I have bought parts from the auction that the police seized from me. It was quite funny actually because I had some stolen rims seized by the police and then they put them up for auction. I bought them from the auction thereby legitimizing them and having a receipt FROM THE POLICE for the rims that were stolen in the first place.

So yes they do sell stolen items at auction and everything on those cars could have been sold and donated or put to much better use than a shitty shock video that really had a negative impact on the POLICE rather than street racers.

Berz out.

JSALES 10-17-2010 03:49 PM

at least there only civic's and integra's but it still someone's car, if it were other sporty cars like an RX-7, Supra etc.. i'd feel bad for the owners

EmperorIS 10-17-2010 09:45 PM

i teared up whe n i had to drop off my family 1991 MPV ... grew up in that car ... along with alot of memories :(

jpark 10-17-2010 09:51 PM
