On a side note, it's interesting to me that some of these cars were made pre-soviet collapse and some were made post.

The fastback 1980ish Oldsmobile Cutlass in the background is the car that got my attention. Simply because of its odd body style and that nobody hardly bought any of them when they were new. Then saw that mid 50’s Buick in the deep background. You’ve got a bunch of interesting cars there.

When my younger brother was in high school he had a beat up chevette. He took the housing with the pull rope from the top of a push mower and mounted it on his hood. He would have a friend get in the car. They had it all worked out that when my brother pulled on the rope his friend would start the car. He said they freaked a lot of people out and got lots of laughs. What fun!

Silas, one thing to think about in regards to a lot of your European or Asian cars that you get in there's a guy in Kansas named Euro asian Bob who buys a ton of stuff like that and is able to part them out pretty easily. Might be something to think about moving forward if it's financially beneficial to you.

Howdy Silas! Nice video again. I learned to drive a Mercedes 300 TD in the early 90s. A nice car then, but now I wouldn't want it. What car did you guys learn to drive in? And the negative comments... oh well, ignore it. People always have to have something to complain about it seems sometimes. Who knows, maybe the car that got crushed yesterday will be your new refrigerator in a few months. Metal is recycled after all. I wish you a great week, and look forward to your next video. 🚙👍

I wandered through a different auto crushing channel where he flattened a car on its side. It seemed to flatten out further by being crushed on its side rather than "right side up" Perhaps an experiment with all those cars of the same type? Does a sideways car flatten further than an upright car?
