2009 Malibu in offset crash against 1959 Bel Air


The older cars are the most dangerous of the bunch when considered as a head on opponent. If todays cars with crumple zones ans stuff can stand up to them then surely they can stand up to another current brand plastic monster. The msot dangerous parts of those old cars aside from rock solid frame was the hoods, the old galaxie hoods in the safety films always went through tyhe other cars windshield right where the headrest met the seat. Something to think about. If my car gets a perfect score in a crash test, I hope they ran it against taht tank in the avatar. Common or not.:icon_thumby:

i noticed the hood was still pretty straight...
 
Also, those old cars aren't as sturdy as bangin on the fender seems to indicate. They were not structurally designed to withstand an impact like modern cars are. See the door get pulled out, the A-pillar collapse and the windshield go frisbeeing off? The driver in the new car would have been wandering around in the road covered in white powder when the first responders arrived. The driver in the old car probably dislodged his brain from its moorings on the steering wheel, broke his neck when he collided with the ceiling and then broke everything else flopping around inside the collapsing steel of the car.

Yeah man, I mean back then they didn't design cars for safety, IMO if you got hit like that back then, you died.... which isn't a bad thing.

This is my point I am getting at, back then it was much easier to die, and for good reason, technology was not like today, in fact I would prefer much more finer lines between life and death, it makes life more enjoyable.

Today's world is too safe, even if you do die, they can artificially keep you alive(like Terri Schiavo). That is wrong, and considering the overpopulation
of the of our planet, in fact our world is too safe, it is too clean and so what do we do, ruin our planet of it's resources, genetically modify plants into a unnatural state, all the mean while engineering diseases to kill the masses, really on one hand we are destroying the planet by increasing the population through science, and on the other planning things to destroy the masses, because sooner or later the earth will not be able to support the Population, and then disaster, disorder and chaos.
