** This gag is later transplanted into the [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama main series reboot]] "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" as MK's object to break down. By the time she's done, the car is reduced to ashes, much to Chef's horror.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlack: The Series'', the [=LTD=] suffers from an unfortunate number of catastrophic accidents per session.

* The BMW M3 GTR in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted'' and its sequel ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Carbon]]''. The player is shown to be winning races easily with the GTR at first, but said car eventually sustains mechanical damage in ''Most Wanted'', and totalled in ''Carbon''. Though perhaps due to licensing restrictions, not even a single dent was shown on the car; the most physical damage EA could show is in the form of cosmetic scratches and cracked windscreens, but the body remains intact.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead Do America: The Movie'' features Tom Anderson's Camper, which suffers -- in order -- a broken fridge, a TV ruined by spilled cola, total destruction by flood from the Hoover Dam release, being torn apart by ATF agents, destruction in a 300 car pile-up, and being defiled by Beavis jerking off (as Cornholio).

* Biff's car goes through this in the ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' series. In the first movie, Marty causes 1955 Biff to crash his car into a manure truck, causing $300 in damage. In the second movie, Marty goes back to the past and encounters a Biff still very angry about that damage. Biff tries to run Marty down, but ends up crashing his car again... into a manure truck. Somewhat downplayed, as by the third movie it's clear that the joke is about the manure and not necessarily Biff's car. It is worth noting, though, that the new 1985 Biff's job (after Marty alters the timeline) is auto detailing.

* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', the running joke is that Harry's old VW bug, the "Blue Beetle", keeps getting wrecked, but Harry has an awesome mechanic who keeps reviving it. By the later books, it has five or six different colors due to replacement doors/hoods/etc. from other VW bugs. [[spoiler:It finally gets wrecked for good in ''Literature/{{Changes}}''.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead Do America: The Movie'' features Tom Anderson's Camper, which suffers -- in order -- a broken fridge, a TV ruined by spilled cola, total destruction by flood from the Hoover Dam release, being torn apart by ATF agents, destruction in a 300 car pile-up, and being defiled by Beavis having ADateWithRosiePalms (as Cornholio).

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': The Chupathingy gets destroyed every time in makes an appearance.
