On Friday, I threw a photo of this Jeep on my personal Facebook page just for a lark. It went nuts and that convinced me that it would be good fodder for the front page here because someone has to know or have the brains to tell us what in world happened to the poor CJ5. There is literally nothing left of this thing. As shocking as the photos of the destruction are, there’s some humor too. The joke comes in two parts. The first is the estimated market value of $6,138 and the second is the estimated repair cost of $7,281. We’re reasonably sure that the late Ray Charles, if given an accurate description of the wreckage you see before you would be closer with a repair estimate than $7,281. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s my thought.
Since CJ5s weren’t exactly known as high speed vehicles, I don’t think that this one crashed into a building at 200mph so maybe this was used as a soccer ball by transformers? Was it fed to one of those car eating robots that were all the rage at monster truck shows in the 1980s? Did someone park it in front of a giant mining dump truck? The body is ripped off the frame and it appears that the frame itself was ripped into pieces. It IS possible to rip the body off a Jeep frame if you try hard enough but this is way beyond that. The Jeep did have a plow on it so maybe this damage happened when it hit a frozen snowbank after being pushed out of an airplane at 25,000ft.
Study the pictures below, formulate a scenario where this level of damage could occur and put it in the comments section.
SCROLL DOWN TO SEE PHOTOS OF THIS DESTROYED JEEP CJ5 AND SEE IF YOU CAN PIECE TOGETHER WHAT HAPPENED –
I’m thinking a tractor trailer or train was the Jeeps other dance partner.
Well that’s what happens when you use crystal meth as a substitute for nitrous oxide!
I’m not saying it was aliens, but……
(pretty sure it was aliens)
Check the wreck for elephant turds, or maybe rhino horn(?)After that, check the COPART yard manager for a concussion. ($7,500)???
I’m not sure but it looks like my wife tried to parallel park it.
It’s a cloudy, rainy night…What train?
Rock crawling gone wrong !!!
Congress builds a car.
I like seeing a wrecked Jeep as much as anyone, but clearly no one lived through that accident… do you really think it should be posted? The truck after my brother’s wreck looked that bad – and I can’t imagine the pain I’d have felt to see it posted up on a website along with the jokes…
I’m guessing a roll down a long hill climb. I lost a Wrangler like that. My body stayed attached to the frame though.
Fell off a car carrier at freeway speeds?
