You simply cannot believe what they did to this Toyota Hi-Lux on Top Gear. At the end, I was actually pulling for the poor little thing.

I can't believe I watched all 16 minutes and 43 seconds of that abuse. Kind of amazing how demoliton crews can drop buildings like that into such a small area, isn't it?

I saw that the other night, very cool! Even watched them drive it in after it was smoldering.

Sorry guys, but I don't see the point in destroying a truck that still has some use left in it...that's one tough truck though...

Amusing to say the least. :D

I'd have to die grind (hoping it would actually work) the nameplate off it...but I wouldn't mind having a beater that tough.

There was some trick photography involved. When the truck was dropped the left side suspension was busted. The truck was leaning bad. Also, when the trailor was dropped on it it dented the bed on the right side. In the next scene as he is driving it you can't see the bed dented anymore.

I do like that program. They have some great reviews and some that are just flat out funny.

:lol:

They do some wild stuff on that show. The best had to be playing darts with cars in an abandoned quarry. Just once, I want them to say "Hey Y'all, watch this!"
