On New Year's Eve, Leigh calls Dennis, asking to come talk to him about Arnie. Dennis and Leigh reason that the only way to stop Christine and save Arnie is to destroy the car. Dennis scratches "Darnell's Tonight" into Christine's hood, then makes his way there with Leigh. As they sit in the bulldozer, they discuss how to lure Christine so they can destroy her. The plan set, Dennis hotwires the bulldozer and Leigh exits to head to the office so that she can shut the door after Christine arrives, trapping the car. However, Christine had been lying in wait the entire time under a pile of garbage and charges after Leigh as soon as her feet hit the floor. Leigh runs from Christine as Dennis attempts to run interference. The car returns to the shadows to regenerate and when it emerges, it's revealed that Arnie is behind the wheel (all the other times when she attacked, her windows were too dark to see inside, but Arnie was not driving). While attempting to kill Leigh by crashing into Darnell's office, Arnie is thrown through Christine's windshield. When he attempts to stand and grabs her, Leigh sees that he was impaled on a shard of glass and mortally wounded. Before he dies, he reaches out and touches Christine one last time. Leigh exits the remains of the office to tell Dennis that Arnie is dead. Even without her owner, Christine is not done. She continues to attack Dennis and Leigh, sustaining damage and regenerating even faster than before. Dennis pulls Leigh into the cab of the bulldozer and the two then crush Christine with it, finally disabling her for good.

Dennis and Leigh leave behind the remains of the car at a junkyward, crushed into a cube. They are spooked momentarily when they hear an old rock and roll song playing and they think it's Christine regenerating (she only played old rock and roll songs). They are relieved to find that it's only a mechanic walking through with a radio. The closing shot of the film is a close up of the crushed cube as a piece of the grill slowly begins to unbend.
