This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

Into the crusher? They don't strip parts? Hard to tell on my phone but there appears to be a steel bumper that they could get some money off of
