Since it's Friday and there's been more than a little discussion about
automobiles, I though you might find this interesting.

2009 Chevrolet Malibu and 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air crash

Interesting comparison......................

Think good 'ol "American iron" was truly safe because it was massive in
scale and weight and full of chrome? Think again...

Check out how 50 years of automotive engineering protects you with a
40mph

Be thankful for engineers who brought you space frames, crumple zones,
air
bags, and heck, seat belts :)
