Machine guns, rocket launchers.
See a big truck about to ruin your day, neutralize it.
I would have needed some distance for that. It was a tanker full of jet fuel (1863). But it would have been just like the movies, an impressive fireball.
He showed me a video taken with his phone, and the car was really hidden by the hood. We were about to turn left and cross some commuter rail tracks. While the light was red, a train appeared. The train triggers a red light for everybody and starts a new cycle for the light, putting our turn lane last to go. So there's like three-four boring minutes to wait. He must have seen me pulling up, but then forgot. There's not much visible damage - puncture from a 3/8" eyebolt and some other marks on the bumper cover. It looks like nothing, and certainly not "hit by a Peterbilt". But who knows what's crumpled under there, and there's parking sensors in the bumper cover.
