I still want STEEL, not plastic/aluminum around me. When I'm forced to
drive a small car, whether by rigged fuel prices or legislation, I'll
walk. Little know tidbit on the so-called Smart car: The only option
available is your funeral. It is EPA approved as a casket.

say that new cars are safer than our beloved classics, BUT this video seems a
bit extreme. Where the hell was the left front frame rail on the '59??? It would
have bent but I think (or shall I say KNOW) it would have stopped the
Malibu from hitting the cowl/ dash/ left door pillar. Also as Ron pointed out,
there is no engine in the '59 Chevy as far as I can tell which when that
moved back against the firewall would have made the nose more rigid. Maybe
this will give the Al Gores of this Country more juice to take away our hobby
because not only do they pollute the air but they are also unsafe and we aren't
smart enough to make the decision on our own whether to drive them or not.
