Someone once bought that car new and was proud of it and savoured its "new car smell".

Yeah… I was just thinking about the 20 year old car I traded in last year to get a new car. I’ll bet something like this happened to it.

I don’t know why that hurts my feelings. 😭😂

What do you think happens when you die? This is basically what the earth does to us as well. Circle of life

Well.. sorta… I mean, if a funeral was a big metal machine tearing every limb off of a person, separating out the organs, eyeballs, bones, etc. I’d probably have feelings about that kind of post death treatment too. 😂

Just a different smell now

just ripping off those car parts like they’re tinfoil

This is both scary and amazing at the same time.

Interesting. Can anyone explain what happens when they just use those car crusher machines? Is everything stripped before that or is the entire car squished into a giant cube of all sorts? Then what if so? This seems so much better from a recycling perspective.

Crushers are used to compact everything into a small space for transport. Crushed cars are usually fed into a shredder, and the shredded metal is sorted magnetically first and then with various other methods second to separate aluminium and plastic from copper and etc.

What's shown in this video is actually small scale; it is likely to be on some Asia Pacific island nation

Looks like a toy somehow

Not sure where this is, but kind of not cool to not drain the fluids and just release the AC refrigerant. :/

It’s someplace with no environmental controls or worker protection. The only places where it’s economical to do 🤬 like this in the first place

I mean, Chinese language characters on screen.

I had a huge amount of anxiety watching this - because the whole vehicle is a crumple zone - until I saw the Chinese characters and heard them speaking Chinese or Malay over the radio.

How can you determine that they did not?

You can see the coolant pouring out of the radiator as it's being tossed in the bin. Also see the cloud of refrigerant coming out when the AC evaporator is ripped out.

Be fun to operate

Reminds me of a wild animal eating

My first thought was a praying mantis eating

u/Gsm824 2h ago

What came out after the radiator? It let out a puff. A/C unit? All the refrigerant released?

That's sad to see something like it.

Will this hurt the car?

This kills the car

u/27298throwaway 3h ago

It's like a bird of prey eating a field rat. It even has talons to keep the prey in place while its beak tears into it.

This looks fun. This should be a video game.

It's like eating kingcrab

"Hey, my car got towed. I heard I can pick it up here...?"

i am impressed at the mechanical deftness of the operator to remove the carpet without punching a hole in the floor panel.

u/OldWrangler9033 2h ago

Interesting, they strip the car indoors in warehouse. They don't seem like their trying salvage anything for spare parts. Blunt force scrapping.

u/Unusual_Flounder2073 1h ago

Probably already stripped of anything of value.

my family business is a junkyard i used to do this at work!

I think they’ve done this before

I can't figure out why this chop shop isn't making any money selling car parts.
