Cool, I'm getting one! Wait a minute...

So I wonder if they still made cars this unsafe if people would drive more carefully? After all, isn't it comforting you have a well designed structure around you that won't generally collapse and like 20 air bags and no hard surfaces to bang your head on?

I do sort of want to see these tests run again with a 1967 Chrysler Crown Imperial in place of the Bel Air.

Come to think of it, my grandfather might have had an old Imperial...
