The star system on the site is great for telling us how the vehicle was used, but doesn't tell us its fate. How about a cross, red star or just RIP (Rest In Peace) next to the thumbnail if the car is wrecked?

Eg:

'Bullitt' Dodge Charger R/T: *****RIP

Just a thought.

At the very beginning of the site it was suggested, but at that time it did not interest anyone.
Recently a field "involved in chase" was suggested, so logically a "damaged" field would come with that.
It would be "damaged" rather than "destroyed" because it is hard to put a difference between "heavily damaged" and "destroyed": a cheap car a little damaged will be sent to the junkyard, but an expensive car may be repaired even if it must be completely rebuild.

Fair point - 'involved in chase' would be good.

Colours could be a good idea. Red if Destroyed, Green if it is the Hero's car, or Blue if it was in a race/chase. But I pefer the original star rating.

It would not replace the current star rating. It would just be two flags indicating if it is in a chase / if it is damaged.

Like this? http://www.bearplugs.com/prodimg/QPE-29120.gif

I mean as figurative, not an actual flag
Just an check "yes/no" in addition of the current 1-5 star rating.
I do not know what image I'll associate to that.

We could have another poll for this.

There was already a discussion actually:
http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-2932-ChaseCrash_info_for_each_car.html
Which did not give much useful stuff except complicating the problem
Hence the idea of simply having the possibility to indicate if the car is damaged and/or in a chase, to allow to eventually do searches or have a quick overview from the movie page. Comments are there if more info is required, as they are now.
