Line 12:
[[Car Fu]] is when someone, generally the hero but not exclusively so, uses the car (or van, or bus, etc.) they're driving as large, improvised, moving weapon. More often than not, it's in an attempt to [[Ramming Always Works|mow down the bad guys]], but sometimes it's a bid to make them scatter in an attempt to avoid getting run over.
In a rarer form, [[Car Fu]] can also include a car being ''thrown'' as a weapon. Or [[Improvised Weapon|used as a giant club]]. This version is most often used by superheroes.
See also [[Toyota Tripwire]]. If done with ships or spaceships, it's [[Ramming Always Works]]. If the car explodes on impact, it's a [[Molotov Truck]]. For murder attempts with heavy machinery, see [[Forklift Fu]].
