You Crushed My Car...

...And I like it

You Crushed My Car...
15 December 2011

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?
