It was painful to watch, but, as Menmojo said, I was impressed by the strength of the front crumple zone

And that's ART? Who comes up with these crazy ideas of destroying a perfectly good thing and calling it ART?

"Sounds to me like he's got the weight of the Russian world on his shoulders."

GrayGoose, he's speaking German, not Russian!

And he does mention that the fluids were removed at the end.

IMHO what a stupid, senseless snuff video. Yea, kinda reminded me of Goldfinger but that wasn't a P car so it was a lot less emotional. You didn't see them crush Bonds DB5. Butzi the artist would be turning in his grave if he saw that one.

Very hard to watch. I agree. WTF. If this guy was a real artist he would carve a Porsche out of block not reduce a beautiful car to a $100 pile of scrape and call it art.

What a waste.

Wow, that's almost as smart and "creative" as that sh*thead Andres Serrano's picture of the Crucifix submerged in a bucket of his own **** entitled non other than, "**** Christ" (and yes folks, your tax dollars paid for that crap).

Seems all you have to do these days to be called an artist is to do something stupid and talentless and call it art...

the funny part is, the only thing that separates this "artist" and the crane and press operators is that the workers who crush scrap cars all day long don't call it art... instead, they correctly refer it as garbage.

At least it wasn't a 997.2! Now that would have been a shame!

Once it is crushed, it looks like it is the size of a mini cooper. There is an idea, a mini-cooper sized 911. Maybe call it a 455.5?
