We have several times seen videos from the Top Gear show from BBC when they do stuff with cars.

Yesterdays show was another peak moment.

To test what will happen to a car in high sidewinds they lined up a British Airways 747 on full takeoff trust and drove to cars up behind it across the runway. They were about 300 feet behind the plane. I am sorry that I can't provide any videos, I am out of town at the moment.

The cars just were thrown away for several hundreds feet, rolling and trashing like they were a scrap of paper. Just amazing what a force there is behind four big jetengines!

It was just crazy ROFL :D

Here is a link to the BBC site where you can see what they did with a Toyota Pickup. And it was still running after the demolision!!

Yeah, I saw the Toyota show a long time back posted somewhere. That was a funny episode. So if you guys can find it, I would recommend taking a look. They put it through h*ll (can we say that), and it keeps on trucking.
