Too bad it didn't belch after it was finished.

I want one. Solves the problem of what to do with those cars that get left behind at rentals you don't have the title to.

If Goldfinger had one of these, Oddjob wouldn't have had to drive to the scrapyard for the "pressing engagement".

Also quite useful for the Mafia as they could get rid of a vehicle right at the crime scene.

It doesn't matter what it was. When the little terd was new, it was only uninspiring front wheel drive junk.

Yeah...One of these trucks sure would come in handy. I have a buddy that's a scrapper. Bet he'd love tossing all his stuff in there and crushing it into a smaller brick on the spot in his driveway.

Bruce. I know you would have WAAAAAAY too much fun with one. Lol!

The 6-cyl's had descent pickup. My wife drove her 6-cyl 93 GA till about 140K, then I sold it to my brother for his HS aged boys. It went through both of them for their HS and college days. My brother then sold it at 180K for about $700. Last I heard the "blue beast" (as my nephews called it) is still kicking.

Good little car for what it was, and never let anyone stranded.

I wonder how insurance companies feel about that truck? A man could make serious cash with one of those...

OK, so it gets the car in there... How big (or small) is it when they dump it?

I was wondering that same thing myself. Would be interesting to see the truck spit out a nice, compact, block of what used to be a car.

I only see the point in this if it's a charity drive or if I worked in an office and was offered the opportunity to take 10 minutes outside like smokers do.
It looks like they have to pre-load the car somewhere else and get it started first?
