Just something I MUST SHARE.
So, the Original Myth here is that two Semi-Trucks slammed head on into each other, entrapping a Compact between them. The Myth also states that the Semi's were fused together and with the Compact because of this crash. Apparently a Compact is a type of Car.
Well, this was a myth that was the focus of an entire episode, and was thoroughly busted. However, when the Mythbusters did a show about Car-myths, they revisted this Compact Compact myth. Once again, they failed to acheive the results.
For those who don't know, when the Mythbusters fail to acheive a result -normally,- they go about the most extreme way possible to get their wanted result. In this case, they went to New Mexico and are using a rocket railway to slam a 1-inch think piece of metal into their compact. It's all explained in the video.
