I killed it!

This car, that is..... poor thing started out as a brand spankin new 2008 Ford Fusion, 4cyl 5 speed manual, and zero miles. I pulled it in and it still had that nice new car smell inside when I got in, everything was spotless, plastic on all the seats, and 2 plastic bags in the trunk, one with floormats and the other with the hubcaps. Only damage was a dent in the RR bumper corner, and the RF fender was dented pretty good. But that was about it.

Then we went to work.... EVERYTHING came out. Here were the end results (sorry for the crappy camera phone pics.... it was all I had on me)


Front clip was sold, so off it went

LR quarter panel was also sold, so it went too

And this was all that remained of the brand new car :whistle:

This isn't the only brand new Ford we have... got about 120 of them total (many have already been taken apart). These cars and trucks came off of a train derailment incident from awhile back.... some were lightly damaged, whereas others were damaged so badly that we couln't even get the engines out, and ended up sending them to the crusher motors and all. Funny thing, several months back all of these cars were at the body shop of the dealer I worked at previously... I remember seeing them all there when I worked there

Thats cool, looks fun, but seems like way too much work, wouldnt it have been more fun to have and all fusion demolition derby

[OneSickPsycho]

What a waste... then again... it's a Ford.

so jared if a working car comes in u dont have the option to keep intact it has to get parted up?

[Mr Lefty]

let me know if any toyota trains get derailed...

[101lifts2]

I'm assuming Ford (or the insurance co.) mandates them to be crushed?

[101lifts2]

Hopefully the whole company will derail. :plzdie:

won't do any good... Honda will still be around to make the domestic vehicles look like shit in comparison (build quality)

[BobTheBiker]

I still want that job. hacking up cages all day would make me feel SO good after seeing the carnage they can cause to our bikes. I'd love that job, honestly.

I hate cars so much.

Fixed incase Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc goes away.

I'd buy Subaru after Honda...

As long as it's designed by your average 12 year old Asian kid, then I'm down for whatever brand. Can't fuck up worse than our engineers. Ph.D. from MIT ain't shit compared to a 6th grader from Japan.

Subarus are badass. They are finally catching on here in the South (And not just the WRX models). Buddy of mine from up north said they are huge up in rural New York with Honda like mileage on them. If not for me needing a truck to live my life, I'd have a Subaru. Probably a mid-90s Impreza
