Was reading through the github and [this](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/4169) got me thinking…

If broken vehicle parts drop component parts now, isn’t it about time we have junkyards and large scale scrap compactors? It’s a perfect excuse to plop those dangerous, gun toting human adversaries suggested in [this](http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=4037.0) topic in a fortified, highly optional location.

A car crusher would be great, even better if towing ever gets implemented. Until then, you could shove shopping carts into it…

Or carry a few spare wheels for the cars that lack them…

Or win Grenade roulette and just push RVs in…
