[Mr. Dan]

I'm driving extra slow on my way to work today. :eek:

[felixr]

ho-ly sh*t

[2001GLS]

Just don't get hit in the side, especially if you're in the back seat. Ouch!

[billydog]

looks like it might hurt a little heh

edit: bored and decided to look at more, looked at 2004 mazda 3... hehe funny stuff that side impact is. The thingy hits the mazda 3 on the side and the guys head smashes into the thing that rammed it

Gotta show this one to my brother: the 2001 Ford F-150 (http://www.progressive.com/video/40F-150.mpg) :eek:

[SuperGLS]

That's pretty cool. We already knew from a while back they weren't safe when getting t-boned. That's my kinda accident (I'm not sure what that means).

Like I said before, all of them are pretty crazy, so I don't think it matters what small car you are in vs a big truck.

[surreelantra]

They need to start making cars out of titanium alloys or implement that shock-absorbing gel that was used in Final Fantasy

edit: i'm not holding my breath though...

[A&F 01 GLS]

I'm going to wrap my car in bubble wrap so that it'll prevent me from getting in an accident and those damn CARTS!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Dan]

You know, the more I think of it, a bubble wrap body kit may be the next big thing in automobile safety. :) You could get hit by a hummer and end up on somebody's roof laughing your *** off.

[Keyan]

CRUNCH!

poppoppoppoppopppopoppoppopp.......

[J-son]

Makes me really want to save up and get my roll cage install. I planned on getting one done for my solo2 anyways, but after watching those videos...that is just crazy!

I also think that if I had a child in the back seat I would really think the middle would be the best place for he or she. IMO!

Nice thread man, really open some eyes on our cars, pictures prove and show everything.

cheers

Anyone notice the drivers kick plate flying out the drivers window? Man if the windows were rolled up I'd hate to see where that would go.

[GTSTISL]

the damage to the elantra was actually better than most of the bigger vehicles. i was checkin out the dodge ram...that thing got hammered, and i thought a big truck would withstand punishment like that.

[A&F 01 GLS]

Why does the door open?!?! It looks like the door totally opens...either that or the door sill bends.. :eek: :eek:
