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.
