Is there a trope for when a character's signature vehicle (Car, Space Ship, Giant Mecha etc...) gets destroyed and treated as if it were almost a death scene?
Wrecked Weapon seems fairly close, but it seems to focus more on weapons/accessories than vehicles.
Examples include the destruction of the Enterprise in Star Trek 3, The Dude's car getting trashed by nihilists in The Big Lebowski, The Black Pearl getting sunk by the kraken in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and the Bluesmobile falling apart at the end of The Blues Brothers.
