Is that a silver CLK 63 BS?

LOL, what would make somebody do such a thing? Maybe some women who caught the hubby cheating decided it would be a nice payback to trade-in the Aston for a Prius LOL. A Buick GNX??? WTF??? A GNX is the rareset and arguably the most collectible American car made since the mid 70's. In average condition a GNX is worth $50k and super clean low mileage examples have fetched $85k plus at auction. For those of you not familar with a GNX, lemme spell it out for you Buick Regal = MB CLK 350, Buick Grand National = MB AMG CLK 63, Buick GNX = MB AMG CLK 63 Black Series...only the value of the GNX never went down by 40% as my Black Series has. Even if it was a beater GNX with matching numbers I would have given the fool $25k myself for it. The LaForza is a clunker they should smash all of them IMO.

aston is photoshop.... look at how the sun hits the car differently that other objects in picture

some of these cars have to be BS. I would maybe crush the 85 Maserati if it was in total despair. The GNX, Aston Martins, 850i, Typhoon etc. who would consider crushing them?

Anyone who crushes a 'Phoon or a GNX should be shot on site.

Makes me sad to think of such works of art destroyed forever! Would they have crushed a Van Gogh so easy? For some modern POS cause it was more echo friendly?

The first picture with the red Aston is most definitely photoshopped (and not particularly well), but I don't think it was meant to be taken literally... just for "artistic effect" if I had to guess, since the same Aston's apparently on the list.

I too don't get how some of these models would've been "clunkered" by their respective owners - a cursory search of the used market would've demonstrated a far better result could be had by selling the vehicle outright. Doesn't make sense, unless they were absolute buckets o' rust...

Some people look at the old car in the shed and think it is worthless. No research.
Great case in point - my neighbor's 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 convertible, bought from an old man who wanted $5k for it. I saw one go at Mecum for $75k last year.
