[QUOTE="nemesis, post: 1887862, member: 12082"] I remember watching a video of a test crash of two cars from different eras. One car was from the era of "We sure don't build them like this anymore!" It was massive. Big bumper. Big grill. Those wings (or whatever they're called) that protrude from the rear fenders. It was a behemoth. The other car was a mid size current production. Maybe a Honda or Toyota. Anyway, the test was to crash these two cars head on. I don't remember the speed. But the monster, the one that we point to and say, "They don't make them, etc." That one just crumpled up. It was destroyed and if anybody had been inside, they doubtless would have been hurt or worse because the interior was similarly destroyed. The modern car was also badly damaged on the outside. But inside, the interior portion was completely intact. I just thought that was interesting. [/QUOTE]
