Want your beater of a car to be a star? Adam Savage of Discovery’s hit TV show ‘Mythbusters’ has posted a call for old cars on Twitter today.

Savage Twittered saying, “D’you have a car you want to give to Mythbusters to smash? If you’re in the Bay Area, email smashmycar@gmail.com."

Be guaranteed though that if you do respond, you will never see that car in drivable condition again. ‘Mythbusters’ hosts Adam and his co-host Jamie Hyneman have been the eradicators of many a vehicle, from sub-compacts to buses.

Check out the video here of the boys pancaking an innocent little car with a rocket-powered monolith of a wall.
