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.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Crowdsourced Car Destruction
- There is a potential for a platform that connects car owners willing to donate their non-functional vehicles for the purpose of destructive scientific experiments like those performed on Mythbusters.
- Social Media-based Supply Chain
- More industries can use fast social media platforms like Twitter to quickly and easily ask for supplies, equipment, or products for their businesses.
- Content-driven Research and Development
- Businesses can improve their research and development process by incorporating ideas that are being shared on social media platforms like Twitter.
Sectors Adopting This
- Media and Entertainment
- There is an opportunity for media and entertainment companies to create content-driven stories that can go viral on social media platforms like Twitter.
- Automotive
- The car industry can leverage crowdsourcing platforms to obtain non-functional vehicles for destructive research and development purposes, testing new safety standards and vehicle designs.
- Consumer Electronics
- Technology companies can use fast social media platforms like Twitter to quickly identify user needs and react accordingly by developing and releasing new products and updates.
