Car fans across the globe have been eagerly awaiting the premiere of "Fast & Furious 6." As the latest installment of the tremendously successful franchise, the film is sure to maintain the tradition of featuring some amazing vehicles – and then destroying them in a spectacular fashion. 

The Los Angeles Times reports that between 300 and 400 cars were wrecked during filming. Some of the scenes include unique vehicles like a 1969 Ford Mustang, as well as more common models like the Dodge Charger and Nissan GT-R. All were crushed without prejudice, however, and many in real ways that minimized the need for computer graphics and special effects. 

"I can tell you all the actual crash and destruction of vehicles is real," Dennis McCarthy, car coordinator for the "Fast & Furious" films, told The New York Daily News. "That's very rare. And I think that's what keeps the 'Fast & Furious' franchise above all the others, they keep it real. I think that it would disappoint a lot of fans if they didn't." 

While most of the vehicles used in the sequences were development cars that would have been destroyed anyway, that didn't stop the price tag from running up. The film budgeted millions of dollars to obtain and then wreck automobiles.

Of course, you can always invest a vehicle without having the intention of crashing it. NJ State Auto Auction has plenty of CARFAX-certified cars, trucks and vans that could be the perfect used car for you.
