    Ah... I dont think that is tough....

    Try BBC's Top Gear Toyota Hilux...

    So Jeremy Clarkson (with a bit of help):

    * Drove it down stairs.
    * Drove it through the corner of at least a couple of stone/concrete walls.
    * Drove it into a tree*.
    * Tied it to a boat ramp and let the tide come in. (The ropes holding it down broke so it was covered for 5+ hours.)
    * Dropped it onto the grass behind Jeremy from somewhere higher than Jeremy (and out of shot).
    * Drove it though a (mock) wooden shed.
    * Dropped a caravan on it.
    * Smacked it 'round with a wrecking ball (which mostly just straightened the bonnet/hood bent in the tree crash).
    * Set fire to it.

    And it was driven triumphantly onto the Top Gear set at the end of the show.

    They (TG) even placed that Hilux on top of a council tower block ... then demolished the building in a controlled explosion.

    Buhay pa din !
