The venerable BBC TV has a motorhead program called Top Gear, which does awful things to old vehicles, like firing cars off a quarry edge with a nitrogen ram, trying to hit caravans on the quarry floor 100 feet below, (sorry Paul!). They took an old Toyota Hi-Ace truck with a couple of hundred thousand miles on the odo, and hit it full on the side, hard as possible with a wrecking ball. It drove off. Then, they ran it with no oil or water till it ground to a halt. Refilled, off it went! So, they set it on fire. Once the cameras got their shot, the fire brigade put out the flames, and the mech drove it off, melted seats no glass and flat tires! Minor repairs, and they decided to REALLY finish it off, and put it on the top (5th floor)of a condemned multi-storey car park. The building was obliterated with explosives, and I can still see that old Toyota being driven out of the rubble, battered by unbeaten!
