Actually, they do -- it's just that "they" are Japanese:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hzRLG8dA-E
Take a 190,000-miler Toyota Hilux Diesel truck, and try and kill it.
They fail; among other things, they sink it overnight under the Severn
Bore (that's a 40 feet high tide, made of sea water). Still starts. Drop
a caravan on it. Still starts. Still starts. They set it on fire. Still
starts.
So, that's not enough;
Part 2:

They drop a building on it. Literally. They put it on top of a
20-storey block of flats and blow the building up.. Yup, it still starts.
