‘Furious 7’: What Happened to the Wrecked Cars

this is a very good news story and should be taught in school curricula to make students rich enough to understand the vast difference in realty and virtuality.

I guess I would have done it differently, the removal of the damaged cars... I see some aluminum rims and I know there are car parts that were not damaged in the various crash scenes. I guess I would have hired a salvage crew, under some scrutiny from a 3rd party-for legal reasons, stripped the cars, separated items by metal type and then sold everything for scrap.Of course just crushing and removing is easier, faster...

And the best part about the over-the-top, suspend belief action movie was the denouement tribute to the late Paul Walker at the end. When he asked Vin Diesel, "What, aren't you going to say goodbye?" The montage of Walker through previous F&F films, and then the aerial shot of their two cars driving and then separating heading down different roads of life. That was sweet.

In my opinion, the row of El Caminos is really a row of Ford Rancheros.

A good example of the disgusting conspicuous consumption behavior that is a symptom of a debauched America. Certainly, I would defend the right of property owners (movie producers) to be able to determine the use of their property while not causing damage to others or their property. In light of how wasteful this movie production approach is, however, I would beg viewers to take a moment to consider how disgusting the outcome of their behavior turns out being. Don't watch the movies!

David Walter Banks is a good photographer. Some very nice shots.

So, where is the outcry of the environmentalists? The waste of planetary resources and consequent pollution is staggering. Just kidding

Don. Cars are recycled in a specific manner governed by environmental standards. Aluminum wheels are removed (they are more valuable and sold separately) along with radiators and engines. Fluids are drained. Crushed cars go to a ‘stripper’ where the steel is further separated from the remaining dissimilar materials. It is of course then recycled. The photo in the article you may be referring to is mine. These cars were crushed in this manner for an art project. I’m sure the guys at Bonnies have since ripped them back apart and finished them off.

Too bad a worker in an auto factory supply chain has to lose his job to live in your utopia.I guess we ought to rethink fireworks, television & Internet entertainment (those electrons are motivated by fossil fuels combustion, you know), the list goes on...

Oh, that's OK. They were insured right? No one's fault officer......Come to think of it, they probably bought insurance in case they couldn't crash too.

Okay, so we now know what happens to wrecked cars—yawn.

Anyone who still thinks there's no difference between men and women and what turns them on...this should put that concept to rest!"Car crashes" and "chick flick" don't compute.

It's a shame if/when a truly collectible vehicle gets smashed. There's only so many '69 Camaros or mid-60s GTOs left in the world.

I'm assuming this price is baked into the $10 I spend on a drink at the movie theater.

If you want to make a statement then grill your steak on your 75 foot Viking in Cancun.

" Filmmakers insisted he shred or crush them all, to prevent anyone from fixing one up and getting hurt in a damaged movie car. "What about all the kids who've been killed or permanently injured in accidents trying to emulate unrealistic scenes in this ridiculous movie series?
