That comment made me think of Monster Trucks, which also do that

Which made me recall the original Monster Truck, Big Foot. Whilst not commercially available they are just about mass produced these days and compete all over the world. There was nothing like them until Bob Chandler made this one in the mid-late 70's, and it's a Ford Displays started off just crushing a few cars, then jumping a row of crushed cars, then racing and freestyle displays. Hell, they even do double backflips in them now
