Old Cars Turned in Artificial Coral Reefs

The eco people are the biggest cars haters out there. They say that the vehicles we need to get around every day are destroying the forest in South America and killing the baby polar bears.

But what if all that can be flipped. Imagine the coolest type of recycling ever – turning cars that had been crashed into ocean coral reefs. These machines are now rising from the baron wasteland at the bottom of the ocean and are teeming with colorful life.

The coral reefs occupy only a hundredth of the ocean’s surface, yet they are home to a quarter of its wildlife. So presumably, all the cars we though away have a change to really make a big impact.

The only problem is that the lubricants and other substances in a car are pollutants and should be removed before the car is dropped down.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
