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. ---

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. ---
