I'll fess up... at a school "car Show" day.
Wasn't part of the plan, but a careful recce and much contemplation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E10YkBIe4kE Two being the magic number, no engines. Note how the hood and roof collapsed to act as guides. The exit was a bit rough, do it on the lawn if you decide to follow through. The local jeep club spent the day doing unspeakable things to the cars first, as did one of the local trials motorcycle guys that manage to crawl over ....anything. Consider contacting them to add to your show. And maybe a helmet. Enough for now.

We could supply a Sherman, though no longer camo pink. You have to pay shipping though, ... normally a show stopper.
Good luck with your venture, Rowbear.

Not a UC owner but I thought the carrier had some really low ground pressure. We tried to flatten a bunch of old metal lockers in a row with a M113 and all it did was drive along them with some very underwhelming dents and creases.

Carrier crushing
Thanks all for your advice pro & con. I crushed a Iltis once with a M113 . Although i did not do it on purpose i , as crew commander of the Armored ( aluminium wonder ) Personnel Carrier i was responsible for that one . Nobody got hurt fortunately . It was flattened to the axles . The Honda Civic is a survivor compared to a Iltis. I have to admit that doing it with a Universal Carrier sure looks pretty marginal . Thanks for the video Charlie , you are an ace driver . It is certainly food for thought. Would be neat to repeat the deed without having to deal with the friggin MP’s and the CO ...Thanks for the Sherman offer Michael . I have mixed feelings about that one . The feeling of being upstaged is one that comes to mind ....Great video Charlie.

Flying parts
I would be very worried about pieces of the target (and hopefully not the carrier) coming loose by the impact, and flailing back into the driver's compartment.

car crushing Carrier
The jury is out . After much deliberation , kind advice and true introspection the decision is no go . The crowd will see fast passes , 360 degree spins and the nostalgia of 40’s military technology in motion but no car crushing . Charlie you will remain the champion .
