Car Crushed by US Customs

THIS is a classic Mini Cooper.

Nearly 15 years after Austin stopped producing these vehicles, fans in USA are ready to pay in excess of 20,000 USD to own one of these.

But the US Customs and Border Protection Force plays spoilsport as these are banned as a potentially unsafe car. Over the past year, CBP has increased targeting and inspections of suspect imported vehicles, specifically Minis and Land Rover Defenders. “Safety is the top priority and we are committed to preventing the illegal importation of vehicles and exposing their potential safety risks”, said an official.

So this is what they did to the car last week.
