A first-generation Nissan 240SX remain a prize for many enthusiasts who want rear-driving, small-car fun. But after one Florida owner died, his friends disposed of his 240SX in the fashion they say he would have wanted: through a crushing. UPDATED

According to the man who posted the video:

Our friend who owned the car passed away.. and No one wanted a punk ass 16yr old to be driving the car around that he finished the way he wanted it before he died.. so instead of it getting picked apart in a junk yard.. crush it...

He was the type of guy who actually threw his last car in a dumpster cause it rattled.. so this fit him perfectly...

The poster later added that the engine from the crushee was given to the family, but otherwise the car went with its rims on to the great Nismo track in the sky.

UPDATE:After we ran our story, we heard from the friends of the owner, whom we know only as Tim:

Tim was a good friend to many, and an asshole to the rest. He didn't tolerate morons, ricers, idiots. He was a mechanic by trade, loved cats, fishing, and liked driving his car. He was young when he died, and sudden also. And yes it is true, he mentioned many times that he never wanted anyone else to drive his car. So for those of you who don't get it, respect a dead man's wish. Money from friends and car shows were donated to the SPCA in his honor.

:fuuuuu:

dude had RPF-1s....

Chiili said it best.

That was like beheading someone with a nail clipper.
I understand the reasoning, I don't necessarily agree, but they should have at least done it properly.

Damn that was a clean car

do not agree with the method of the car..

Damn... what a waste :(

And they were giggling? Wtf?

I think a better way would be burning it. Send it to heaven with a big bang when the gas tank blows.

the wheels still look ok!

If you're going to have it crushed, that's fine.. but do it properly! That was more of an insult to his car than anything else..

those rpf1s are really strong..

With all that giggling and laughing I have a feeling his family/friends didn't like him all that much.

^ If they didnt, then they wouldnt respect his "wishes".

in the first comment, his friend wrote

at least the rpf1's are fine lol

Man if your gonna crush it crush it right! Drive over it, impale it, FLIP IT for crying out loud... All that GUY DID WAS PLAY PATTY CAKE, disappointed...

the ghost of the buddy is going to fuck with them for the rest of there lives

should've burned it.............

I wouldn't want my car crushed personally, I would much rather see it parted and have the proceeds donated to charity. That would leave a lasting legacy instead of a pile of scrap metal.

This is how they should have crushed the car, skip to 3:20..

In Native American times, when a warrior was killed, his horse too would be slain, so that he would have it to ride on his final voyage.

Ride on, Buddy.

Thats a quote from one of the owners friends, it puts why they chose to crush the car in much clearer terms.

Poor 2 tone, they are rare.....

wow look how stiff the suspension is!

the crusher operator probably want to salvage the rpf1s for himself, thats why he didn't damage them
