***Watch a demolition derby***

I was at a demolition derby once in Carlsbad NM back in 1961. The first thing I noticed was the drivers try to use the rear and trunk area for smashing and protect the front end and radiator.

You’re right, although it’s a lot harder to drive precisely in reverse. And while your radiator may be damaged by impact or projectiles, you can drive a long way before the motor locks up. Especially in these newer cars that go into “camel” mode when they are overheated.

Yes, run over them in reverse. So doubt about it.
