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...
RIP.
RIP 240
car looked so clean tho, make me cry 
RIP. . . . BOTH OWNER AND S13
what? this is stupid.
hey lets remember our dead friend by smashing his shit is the general vibe im getting.
what a fucking waste. how about you just be picky as to who buys it, instead of crushing it.
big waste, they should have sold the car and donated the money to a worthy cause.
oh well, RIP.
woulda been cooler if he just drove right over it.
RIP to the owner… A car is a car
thats smart
use the money towards costs of funeral home, etc.
Stupid.
I’d probably come down and haunt the shit out of my friends for doing something like that.
From everything I’ve read about the owner, he’d be laughing at all of you for actually crying about a car being crushed.
The genesis of the idea came from Tim’s repeated distaste for the idea that his car, or any part of it, should fall into the hands of a teenaged wannabe drifter who would defile his car by crashing it during a lame attempt at emulating their D1 heroes, or modifying it in a way that Tim would find offensive. Rather than sell the car and have it end up in the wrong hands, Tim’s friends decided to crush the car and videotape the proceedings.
A variety of ideas were bounced around Ziptied, with some suggesting the car be chopped into pieces, others commenting that Tim’s long standing wish of being “f***ing buried in this car” be honored. In the end, one member’s idea of having a backhoe trample the car won out.
Yes, the car was crushed with the RP-F1′s on it, but again, it was done in accordance with Tim’s wishes, and with the blessing of his family. In the end, the motor and transmission were sold, with the proceeds going to Tim’s family, but everything else was mangled in a final tribute to a dear friend of many in the Tampa Bay area, and online. Video of the ceremony can be seen after the jump.
what a moron.
I’d probably do the same- they’d go nuts trying to figure out why their battery was disconnected every day when they went to start their car.
Uh… why put up such a big deal about it being sold to someone else then. Hypocrisy much?
I would just like to state that I do not care wtf happens to mine when I pass…since well im dead. Just please don’t ruin it cause it was so much work!
Someone doing heaterz in it YES Beating it till it explodes YES Drifting into a wall SURE
Letting it just sit or ruining it NO
I kept looking at those rims. They could have at least put steelies on it
Why is everyone so pissy about this car getting crushed? Who cares if its a waste. It wasn’t done to get rid of the car, it was in honor of the driver. I think its pretty cool what they did. Most people wouldn’t do something like this, they would immediately look to get money out of it.
same…
or sold the car and Donated the money to Charity!! mite have been smart
why not leave the car to a friend or something. i hope someone keeps beating on my car after i’m gone. hell, i’d leave it to my wife with the sole purpose of her learning to drive a stick. then she could drift the fuck out of it.
+1
fucking stupid if you ask me… unless there are extenuating circumstances.
They crushed a 240 shell with no drivetrain, whoopdie fucking do. Cry about it. Bing you’ve cut up a few yourself
