Next I want to see a Civic/Focus/Cobalt vs. a Ford F-350

 

We need to issue a c4bl( cash for bel air) program. These cars a danger to our society!!!

 

Now to be fair, it must be a 2009 Civic/Focus/Cobalt versus a 1959 F-350 of course...


And if we are going to monster-truck over some American compacts, let's at least throw in some Asian rice besides the Civic... let's steamroll a few Kias and Hyundais too.

I think the jaws of life might save him...

 

is that the rim inside the passenger compartment?!

 

You know, I'm sick of hearing how all these cars survive all these skewed impacts, it's all hogwash anyways.
What I need to know IS:
How did John Doe do, did he survive, No Guesses!

Really who cares, if my CAR survives or even if the passenger compartment is untouched, if I still died....Right???

I'd like to know:
Was enough energy absorbed from the collision to allow me to live!
Can my car "take one for me"?

Everyone's saw the "Smart Car" take hits @ 70mph etc, and stay in tact...BUT..with practically no crumple zones, the occupants still died!!!

Inertia's a B....

 

I wanna see a Model T vs. 2009 Malibu. Wood splinters all over the place...

 

In another 50 years the 1959 Bel Air will still be remembered and collected, no one will give two ***** about the 2009 Malibu...

 

That is a nice ride!

 

They already said the driver of the Bel Air would have been killed and the driver of the Malibu would have just bruised his left knee.

 

Maybe I missed it...do they mention what the speed of both cars were at the point of impact?

 

Both were going 40mph

 

How about '59 F-350 vs. '09 F-350. Now that would be fun to watch.
