- Uh. *cringe*
What's wrong with you!?
Why?
Sometimes perfectly good cars get sent to the crusher
and it makes me so mad!
Today we're going to watch a bunch of really great cars
get destroyed.
And then learn why they got sent to hell
to begin with.
(Satan laughs)

- The first car on this unfortunate list
is a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle,
which was sentenced to death by shredder.
Roll that sweet, sweet car carnage footage.
It's a cute little bug. It's got a peace sign on it.
Oh my God.
(forklift beeps)
Ah.
(metal rattles)
That poor car, it's such a cute little car.
Why would the do this?
This hilarious piece of comedy
was created by the company that makes the shredder,
as you probably already guessed.
And they euthanized this perfectly drivable Volkswagen
simply to demonstrate
how good their machine is at eating vehicles!
Well, Shredding Systems, Inc.,
mission accomplished, I guess!
And that is the least egregious example
of vehicular carnage on this list.
Let's raise the stakes a little bit, huh?
Why not?
Let's move on to a Nissan 180SX that met its fate
in the crusher.
That's right.
They took a perfectly good S13 with a pretty sick body kit,
TE37s and they squashed it like a piece of dog poop
on top of two other cars!
There's a Skyline in that pile!
What is wrong with you?
Why?
Well, because of a little thing called anti-hooning laws.
You see, there's a place called Australia
and they've a very strict policy on hoon activities,
which includes speeding, burnouts, doughnuts,
and tire screeching.
If you get caught hooning down under
you get slapped with a fine, your license gets suspended,
you might wind up in jail.
Or in this case, you can get your car sent to the crusher.
The police department themselves posted this video
to send a message to the youths,
"Don't make screechy sounds with your tires
or else we're gonna send your car
straight to hell, which in our case swirls backwards."
And it turns out that Australia is the only country
that likes to publicly demolish vehicles
that were hooned around.
Next up on this list, about 20 motorcycles
confiscated by the New York Police Department.
Many of these confiscated bikes don't have turn signals
or brake lights, and therefore are a threat to civilization.
So Billy rounded 'em all up,
revved up his biggest bulldozer twins
and flattened 'em into a motorcycle flapjack.
Play the clip.
- We mean business.
I want to be very clear to anyone out there
has an illegal dirt bike.
Don't even think about it
because the NYPD will find it and we'll crush it.
- What a dork.
- Don't even think about it.
(metal rattles)
- Ha ha, you're not running over any of 'em,
just push 'em out of the way.
Oh, now you're getting up there.
- We'll find it and we'll crush it.
Don't even think about it.
- These guys are good bulldozer.
He's good at 'dozen.
And all that for 8,000 views.
Now for our next funeral procession,
let us mourn the passing of this bright green BMW M3 wagon.
But wait a second James,
BMW has never sold an M3 wagon yet.
Well friends, therein lies the problem.
Well, there's a little place that I like to call England,
or weird America.
It's kind of like Australia, but greener and wetter.
And in England, they've got these people called Bobbies,
which are kind of like police officers,
but they were much better hats.
One day the Bobbies pulled over in this BMW.
And when they ran the license plate,
they realized it was actually registered
as a diesel-powered 3 series, not in an M3.
What they found were parts from two and three coupes
that were reported stolen a few years earlier,
meaning this custom wagon was built using a legal parts
and Bobbies hate illegal things!
The dude who owns the car
said that he had no idea about stolen parts.
And for all we know, he could've been telling the truth,
but even still a judge ruled that the contraband of state
be sentenced to death by cubification.
(logo moans)
Roll the clip!
(engine revs)
This BMW is turning heads at the car meet,
now we've crushed it.
(claw crane whines)
That claw thing is hard, dude.
(metal rustles)
(James grunts)
(metal clatters)
(intense music)
Was this a fair punishment?
Probably not, but it's safe to say
that the British government has done much, much worse.
Moving onto the rarest and most expensive car
in this list, a McLaren 620R, a $300,000 super car.
They only made 350 of these bad boys.
Now I want to start by saying that the Philippines
has a massive car culture,
and it seems like a pretty good place
to be a car a enthusiast.
But the government there is very serious
about where cars come from
because of something called taxes.
This $300,000 car was more like a $700,000 car
if it was imported in the legal way,
but, as you guessed, it wasn't.
So as a completely reasonable and not at all cruel
or unusual form of punishment,
they decapitated it with an excavator
in front of a crowd of people,
including a bunch of guys in hard hats!
Roll the clip!
Oh.
(heavy metal music)
This is all like...
Doing this so publicly is so lame, dude.
And now this McLaren is in hell,
just like the beetle, the S13,
all those motorcycles and that M3 wagon.
But the CEO of hell just called, AKA Satan,
and he wanted me to let you know
that there's still a vacancy.
So let's move on to our next victim
of automotive assassination, a first-generation Dodge Viper.
Sorry. I misspoke.
I actually meant 93 first-generation Dodge Vipers.
It's a lotta snakes!
So why did they do it?
Why do they have to murder 93 Dodge Vipers?
Well, back in the early 2000s,
Dodge donated these Vipers to schools across America
to be used in shop class, Jesse's high school had one.
But after 10 years Dodge pulled the plug
and said, "No more eduction!
The cars had served their purpose!
The kids mustn't learn anymore.
They're getting too smart."
See, Dodge still technically owned all of these vehicles
and they were never street legal to begin with.
A couple of 'em had already been crashed on public streets
by students taking them for test drives.
That's what corporations like to call a liability.
So, per the original agreement
when the cars were sent to the schools,
it was no surprise when Dodge asked for 'em back.
Vipers were rounded up, ripped to shreds,
never to be dismantled by a high school student again.
(metal cracks)
Ugh.
No fanfare, already at the scrap yard.
No one would cry.
What a good looking car. Sad.
And now these 93 serpents
are slithering the seventh circle of Satan's spa,
AKA hell.
(woman screams)
(Satan laughs)
There's one last car we gotta talk about,
a car that has been persecuted by the law.
Its mere existence a threat to the US government
for decades.
And of course I'm talking about the Nissan Skyline.
Ugh. Ew.
It's like creepy how it just comes...
Uh!
Uh, it's like watching someone pick a scab.
(metal crunches)
Ugh.
Disgusting.
It's like a snuff film.
There have been many Skylines confiscated and crushed
by the feds over the last 20 years or so.
And that's of course because of America's
25-Year Import Law.
Long story short, the Nissan Skyline chili was never sold
in the US, but that hasn't stopped people
from bringing them in and driving them on public roads.
Most of the time if you get caught,
it's a little thing I like to call, "Game over, pal!"
Remember the yellow GTR from "The Fast and Furious?"
It got crushed too. You know what else?
"Air Bud' is dead.
Listen guys, if every car that we talked about today
is in hell, then maybe hell isn't even a bad place to be.
And with that, I'll see you in hell.
