Whyyyy

[Deer_hunter_088]

was going through the googles and seen THAT

[leftybass209]

Many crash derby cars are there for a reason. Often rusted, salvaged, un-cared for vehicles, before they get transformed.

[cypressbog]

What? I don't get the question.

[michael bustamante]

wow im gonna do that to my 67!!!
yeah right....
is it just me or is that not our cab?

[Deer_hunter_088]

Ive watched many of these trucks go smashy smash, me i stick to the minis, and crash the lil taurus, and ccorscas, not a peice of truck history, and ive seen near mint trucks go out, and if asked they will say they did it do to boredom.

Yes, I think that's a mid 1970's IH pick up.

Playing devil's advocate for a minute. Why would someone take a running and driving Taurus or Corsica and smash it all up? Maybe there's a poor person that doesn't even have a car that would love the opportunity to have that old car.

yes i know, but what i ran was already smahed, taurus with no windows, and air bags deployed, basically totaled, corsca, well was in a rear ender, with a truck, i think ford( i found the logo in the smashed up trunk) if it was a good car to drive, id have drove it, or fixed and sold it, if the vehicle is dead, no hope of being brought back, then derby it, if it has even a slightest chance of being restored, its getting fixed, like my truck, its a good condition truck, so its getting fixed, my brother in law tried getting me to kick the windows, i told him to get his own truck, now if the beds shot, and cab then have a lil fun with it, if it cant be restored.

As you can see its a 60s c20 hitting a 67? c10.

Every one lost inches up the value of my truck, so smash and crush away! . Honestly, I hold high value in life, not man-made machines. It's just a truck, and there's thousands upon thousands still in service. I enjoy car shows, motorsports, working on classics, and any mechanical device, but they aren't worth any heartache to me.

i just dont see why you take a good condition classic, that someone would love and go smash it up.

[In The Ten Ring]

Why? "Freedom."

I always liked "crash up derby" until I realized most of the cars in those are no longer made.

[Deer_hunter_088]

I derby cars that won't be remembered and that ain't wanted.

[BILT4ME]

Yes, the first one is an "Intermashional Harvester".....

[57taskforce]

I run at least one derby a year. Sometimes decent stuff gets wrecked. Unfortunately it's part of the game.

[YBNORML]

Why not? The truck belongs to them, they are free to do whatever they choose with it. They made millions of these trucks. Ive never participated in a derby, as they aren't very common around here. But i would love to someday.

[Mrturner1]

Probably rusted out I would think. I agree that vehicles aren't worth fretting over, but I'll be honest and admit that I once got a little worked up at a derby when a guy came out with a completely restorable 55 bel air wagon....

[BlueBullet]

Demos are popular in our area. There is a truck that is a Ford or Dodge called the Terminator. It's won over $30000. Can't imagine how many times it's been rebuilt and money spent.

[Deer_hunter_088]

I run cars, minis to be exact, and try to run one everytime i can (hopefully runnin one in october)

[special-K]

I see this as senseless in "my mind". But, we live in country that is presented as being free, so people who don't know any better have the right to do senseless things.

To you guys saying that this is a crime against humanity, I have one question for you. If you walked into a Pick n Pull and found a truck with a tilt, or a tach, or a set of buddy buckets, would you pull them as fast as you could and then come on here and talk about your "score" of the day, or make a thread asking why it was in the PnP in the first place????? I think I know the answer! Taking something that could have ended up in the junkyard and having a little fun with it is what it's all about.

[Deer_hunter_088]
