Crushing or junking a VR4 isn't anything new around here, guys like NateCrisman has been doing it for a while now, stripping down cars to bare bones and sending them to the crusher. Besides you can always take the badge number and put it on another car that doesn't have its' original badge anymore, then BAM 1157/2000 lives again.
I junked 1350 solely because it was a rust bucket.
