Yeah, I dont know if watching my favorite car get crushed... Especially after all you had into it. But a car crushing in general must be pretty cool.

Keep updating, Id like to see where you take your next project.

Watching cars get crushed is amusing. Granted I've never watched one of my own get destroyed.

Damn this makes me miss my old car, but I know you will take care of it and make it fast again.
