I have scoured the manual in DS2 and probably missed the part that I was
looking for. Buildings, trees, etc obviously block LOS, but what about
vehicles?

More importantly, what about destroyed vehicles?

I am sorry if I should already know the answers to these questions...

Neither block LOS. This is implied in the rulebook on page 4 by two things:

1. The large disparity between figure and ground scales. A vehicle that is 2cm
occupies an area on the order of 100m^2; ie. it could be anywhere in that
area.

2. "Lines of sight/fire are blocked by raised ground, buildings and
woods...smoke and other obscuration agents...". Vehicles are conspicously left
out of this list of objects blocking LOS.
