{{examples}}

* Vice-Principal Uchiyamada in ''[[GTO]]'' has a very shiny Benz that he loves very much and it gets thrashed over and over again. {{spoiler|Multiple times people attempt suicide and just happen to land on the car, it also gets stolen (by students) and driven off into Tokyo Bay.}} In its final appearance he's gotten savvy and has lashed a mattress to the roof. {{spoiler|It gets destroyed in a different way.}}

* In ''Battleground: Tatooine'', an arc in the [[X Wing Series]] comics, Winter and Tycho have to borrow Huff Darklighter's shiny, expensive speeder to chase after some people who shot up a party. While driving, Tycho takes it a bit slow, telling Winter that they promised to bring it back without a scratch. Winter then shoots the front of the airspeeder and says "Now it's scratched. Go!" A few pages later, the speeder is totally destroyed.

* Characters in ''[[Sin City]]'' love to take care of their cars. Wallace and Dwight's Cadillacs are the two biggest examples. Unfortunately, many of these cars do get wrecked, much to the chagrin of the characters.

* "[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California.]]"

{{quote|'''Cameron Frye''': Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love. It is his passion.

* Crowley's very attached to his Bentley in ''[[Good Omens]]''.

* In ''[[Shutter Island]]'', Teddy blows up Dr. Crawley's beloved car in order to create a diversion.

* Here's a handy guide: if Kelso makes even a passing reference to his car in an episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'', bad things are going to happen to it.

* In ''[[Power Rangers RPM]],'' when Col. Truman refers to the Project Go-Onger van as his prized possession, you ''knew'' it was [[It's Going Down|going down]]. And it did: the [[Monster of the Week]] planted a bomb on it, causing it to go out of control and right off a cliff. The Rangers bailed out just in time to see it die.

* [[Eddie Guerrero]] and his lowriders. One time when he and [[Rey Mysterio, Jr.]] were teaming Rey got slammed onto the hood of Eddie's car. Eddie came over to see what happened, cold-cocked Rey, and embraced the car as if it could feel pain.

* ''[[Death Rally]]'' disables the sabotage option at the Underground Market if the player is going up against the Adversary. Of course, most players beat him by blowing up his car, rather than trying to out-race him, anyway.

{{quote|"What? You crazy, man? Nobody touches the Adversary's automobile and lives, nobody." }}

* ''[[Altermeta]]'': Josephine has a [http://altermeta.net/oldarchive/archive.php?comic=71 late model Mustang] that she's still too young to drive.

* Mr. Wolffe gets a car like this in an episode of ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]''.

* Kevin's car in ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]''. The abuse it is subjected to throughout the series (and Kevin's subsequent freak-outs) is a [[Running Gag]].
