The Car Crusher - Where Your Car Goes To Die

The crusher is hungry; it must be fed. Its hardened steel maw opens to accommodate an American sedan. The jaws begin to close, and the crusher rocks softly side to side as it brings its full force to bear. The car emits high-pitched rending noises and then — pop! — the windshield blows. And — pop! pop! — the headlights explode. In a matter of seconds, the sedan is less than 2 ft. tall, and the crusher yawns to accept another rust-bitten victim. It's all part of a highly efficient salvage industry that ensures that, after death, your car is reduced to its basic elements and reborn — to be used over and over again.

Also, please add more advertisements. The 15 pointless seconds that I had to wait went by too quickly.
