I know some people felt a little bit of sadness when Elenaor in the 2000s Gone in 60 Seconds remake got picked up by a junkyard grapple and thrown into the conveyor belt of a metal shredder, especially after getting away from the cops.

When I was a kid, there was an episode of M.A.S.K. where Thunderhawk, the flying third-gen Camaro was destroyed, and I felt it when its driver Matt Tracker was so sad. They spent the end segment of the episode usually used to teach kids safety tips that they had secretly rebuilt Thunderhawk to make Matt happy again, with even his son pitching in.

Dom’s Charger from The Fast and the Furious, on the otherhand, I can pretty much count on coming back even if it was obliterated into its individual atoms, in a future F&F installment.
