You Crushed My Car...

...And I like it

You Crushed My Car...

In the UK, standard procedure when your pride and joy car has just been crushed by an overturned lorry is to go batsh*t mental, followed by anguished weeping, followed by resignation and mourning in the pub. It can take months before a smile returns to your face.

Not in China where the whole thing takes on a much more fun vibe. Cars been totalled? Pose in a picture, grinning from ear-to-ear in front of it.

The rear of this man's Toyota was crushed when a container lorry suddenly tipped over in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. None of the three people in the car were injured. What more can you do but smile?
