Unarmed versus vehicles, Silly question until that STR 10. Options

ST, I think you'd be road pizza if the car was moving at all. Either that or you'd tear your hands up and get knocked over for trying.

I had this problem recently. I was wondering what it would take to tip an armored car over. The closest thing I can recall in real life is loading a two thousand pound steel road plate on to the back of a dump truck with nothing more than a chain, some 4 x 4 timbers, and a pry bar. There is no way I could have lifted a road plate, but the pry bar gave me leverage. The timbers gave me increasing elevation until I could get timbers under the plate. The chain allowed me to raise the dump and get the plate attached near the elevation needed. With some lucky driving and a tree I was able to get the plate on the truck. I think a troll with an I beam or something to use as leverage and a few pieces of lumber to gain elevation could tip an armored van. It would be a physics problem. I don't think it is possible without leverage though considering an armored van might weigh 9000 lbs. You would at least have t be able to lift half that weight until center mass shifted. For another example, think about a 55 gallon drum. It would be everything I have to lift that much off the ground, but to tip it over is nothing (mostly due to it's shape), and once it is on it's rim I can roll it around with one hand.
