A lot of commercials in the last few years have had giant people picking up cars like a normal size person would pick up a hot-wheel. Could a giant hand pick up a car without denting it?

Picking up a car by anywhere but the bottom is likely to damage it.

the skin would be like aluminum foil, the under skin reinforcements would help but tweak, the sub frame, unless a foul move is made should hold up. a ladder frame pickup sounds the most promising.

I know that most likely the skin would crush, although the hand/fingers are fairly sensitive and might be able to disperse the pressure well. I figure it would probably be busted but that hasn't stopped MB from taking on TV/movie "myths" before, ie the curving bullet, did anyone think they could actually do that before the tests?
