contractor drivers who carnt drive means...

first off this one was driven into the beams that hold the roofs up ( H frame things)

and second what happens when one drives into the airlines and end up taking the main one for the plant out and putting the production line to a hault and fucking up the spray jobs that were in the process of being painted

the brown is were the pipe ended up pointing ontop of the car a fair bit of pressure coming out of it aswell as all the crap in the pipes...

safe to say both cars were fooked and didnt even get to the transporters!

Is it true that these just get crushed?

Could make some great bargains if they didn't

I used to work with logistics of new cars. If something is damaged, they will not repaint it, they'll buy a brand new part, then paint that.
They just replace everything so it's spanking

IIRC Toyota just scrap any cars that aren't right from the production line, as they run a just-in-time system.

The material cost of the car probably doesn't warrant what it would cost to have the facilities to repair them when they get damaged, or even take people off the line to dismantle them. Wasteful
