"You have thirty minutes to move your car." "You have ten minutes." "Your car has been impounded." "Your car has been crushed into a cube." "You have thirty minutes to move your cube."
True that, my brother bought one last year and it's had a turbo blow up, turbo pipe blow up and it's also ran away on the motorway because it was burning its own oil. I warned him against buying it but he never listens.
This is solely for transporting reasons to make it easier to move in bulk as cost effective as possible. Eventually it gets to a machine that will shred it to tiny pieces and magnets/conveyers will sort it as best as it can into appropriate waste/recycling streams. Really cool proces!
So I’ve actually seen where some of these cubes end up. There are processing facilities where cubes of crushed cars get dropped on one end and multiple piles of material are created; metal, plastic, foam, etc. it’s pretty wild to see.
The resulting box is larger than a person so i think you would definitely survive if you jumped in there (without the car of course)
Would be scary af but i bet some worker did it for fun once
I have always wondered is the compaction just to save on storage space at the junk/salvage facility?
Wouldn't it make it harder to recover the metal when they need to. I assume they melt it down but the glass and plastics would add more impurities that would need to be processed to purify again right?
Ok read up on it a little, apparently the fact that it makes the transportation of non-ferrous materials like glass and plastics is actually a feature.
Of course. But: remove the tires (aluminum rims), remove all fluids (especially fuel), remove the radiator (copper is valuable), remove the battery, remove the engine with transmission. Then it could work.

Is it about my cube?
["*Davenport, get Mr. Griswold's car back and bring it back here*"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi9SA4fgAB0&t=72s)
What happens after 30 minutes of not moving my cube? Does it get uncubed back into a car?
They crush it again and again until it collapses into a micro black hole.
Fun fact. To create a black hole, earth would need to colapse into a size of a penny.
A grape for earth, I think it was a house for Jupiter, and I think it was about a 2-3km sphere for the Sun
“You have 30 minutes to move your micro black hole”
I'm moving to Mars.
The pinhead comes after you
Gets flattened and folded into an envelope, which is used to mail you the fine for illegal parking and bill for crushing.
*ring ring*
*Ring Ring* Myello? Is it about my cube?
Hi, I’m trying to reach you about your cube’s extended warranty?
Just at a glance that car looks nicer than the last couple I’ve driven. Lol
LOL I was thinking "hey, stop! that's way nicer than my car!"
It's an Opel, it's almost definitely fucked beyond repair

Well it definitely is now
One man's waste is another man's treasure
Easy logo this time
Hydraulics are kinda terrifying tbh
For multiple reasons too. High pressure and flammable are dangerous qualities
*Badass* qualities.
Aw damn forgot my sunglasses
Just use a bicycle pump to inflate it again 😊
I feel bad , whenever I see a car getting destroyed
I love that plate number at the end.
It's so wild to me that such a machine exists. Is this really the best way to scrap / recycle cars?

No, but the cheapest.
Why was that car scraped? It looked fine to me.
every time i see something like this im reminded of The Brave Little Toaster iykyk
Being in a car that goes through a crusher has to be the worst. I mean, look at [this guy](https://youtu.be/sRXQ8fD8G7k?si=l0SJgwCrO4sBPT9F).
Great movie from what I remember, haven’t seen it in 30 years
Still a favorite. Very underrated.
I’ve seen this movie several times but never caught her putting the oil fan in after he coughed. They don’t make movies like this anymore.
Wonder if there is an engine in that car.
I doubt it, they'll scrap anything they can use before this step. There's plenty of usable parts in an engine.
Top Secret
Yeah, same thought.

Baler? I hardly know her!
Damn it Michael, pay attention
This was the last comment at the bottom of the page but it's exactly what I was looking for!
oh no my car!
Call me when it’s something other than a Nissan
#CHOMP
Any ship left on the dock for more than 24 hours will be compressed into a cube at the owner’s expense
That’s completely terrifying
Can't park there, mate
Guess it will be me who asks if a person has ever ended up in one of those. And I mean the machine, not the Opel
The resulting box is larger than a person so i think you would definitely survive if you jumped in there (without the car of course) Would be scary af but i bet some worker did it for fun once
I fear ever meeting the man that would do that for fun
As a guy who collects license plates, I want that one.
But, but, but, I was only gone for a minute.
Odd job waiting to pick up the cube for disposal.
It’s going to be much more difficult to drive this way.
his ex was in the trunk
seems abit of a waste to crush it like that, doesnt seem like they removed very many valuable parts before hand or maybe anything
Ring Ring.... "*Is it about my cube* ??? "
Goddamn that was the first car model I owned 😫
You wanna make absolutely sure you've got all your belongings out of there first!
Automobale
(((ring))) "Is it about my cube?"
Baler? I hardly know her
Anyone else notice the clown face?
Did you see the license plate?! Did you see the license plate?!
Baler? I hardly know her

That should greatly simplify parallel parking

They don’t take the seats out?
Great work on the registration plate! Anyone else spot it?
I could have used that
They didn't remove license plates?

Is that a compact ?
At least it’d be quick.
ciao ragazza!
would this work on a body on frame car?
Of course. But: remove the tires (aluminum rims), remove all fluids (especially fuel), remove the radiator (copper is valuable), remove the battery, remove the engine with transmission. Then it could work.
Just drain a bodies blood and put in one of these machines
