Or explode when tapped. For years (and even a little to this day) I believed if a car was rear ended it would explode. Flat tire... BOOM. Car rolls over, massive explosion while rolling. Cars just don't have a small engine fire. They explode! EXPLODE I TELL YA!

There's a post-apocalyptic tabletop RPG that has that trope  as pzrt of ancient lore. I think it went something like "cars will explode if not driven by the pure of heart".

And this is what makes watching these 1970's shows so much fun.  Knowing that it was before CGI, so actual stunt people had to drive the cars and the skill and timing it would take for each of the crashes to look like an accident.

And they actually blew up the junker car instead of CGI'ing the explosion
