The Precious, Precious Car: Difference between revisions

* Variation in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'': Lando, about to borrow the ''Millennium Falcon'' to go with Wedge and Rogue Squadron after the second Death Star, tells Han he'll bring his ship back without a scratch on it. Han has a feeling that he'll never see his beloved ''Falcon'' again. Lando ''does'' bring her back, and her radar dish is missing.

** It should be noted that an earlier version of the script had the ''Falcon'' getting destroyed in the Death Star's explosion.

* Doug's father-in-law's Mercedes, ''[[The Hangover]]''.

* Main character's brother's 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge in ''[[Sex Drive]]''.

* All of James Bond's cars are this to Q. It especially applies to ''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'', in which it gets sawed in half by a helicopter-mounted buzzsaw.

* The titular SUV Sharon from the Venezuelan Movie ''Mi vida por Sharon'' is treated this way. The plot of the movie is all the lengths its owner goes to rescue it from express kidnapers, almost at the expense of his family and the romantic relationships with his ex-wife and actual girlfriend (the man was two-timing with each other, and still both felt more betrayed with his love for his SUV). Although he manages to reconcile with his family and got his car back, {{spoiler|Sharon still gets destroyed, at the hands of the pregnant dumped girlfriend, in a explosion that would make Michael Bay smile.}}

* This happens in [[Only Fools and Horses]], and even ties into an earlier plot point too. Del borrows Boycie's Jaguar E-Type (for various reasons), and just when he decides to stop in the road at the end of the episode, the car gets crashed into by a dodgy car with no brakes Del had sold to an Australian guy earlier in the episode.

* Chi Soo from ''[[Flower Boy Ramyun Shop]]'' loves his black car and drove it to school. His father stopped him from doing this by taking the wheels; he had a [[Played for Laughs]] breakdown in the garage because of this.
