    During exams my university would drag an old car into the middle of the campus, and students were allowed to beat it to a pulp for $5. They’d give you a bat and you could just smash it to pieces.

    10/10, would smash again.

      And use the money to buy another one for the next round?

        Some places might just let you take the car if you can pay to haul it away

        Pretty sure you use a dead car for that kind of stuff, the valuable pieces can be gone already and it’s okay

        When I was on the fire department (late 2000s) we bought cars for like $75 each to practice disassembling, I assume from the junkyard. I bet the price hasn’t changed too much.
