It's fake, but I would still love to have that Chrysler.

Here's a real example of a modern car hitting a 60s tin can:
Female, Asian driver (stereotypes are based on reality) jumps a curb and impaled a Pontiac.
Her car was actually still drivable.

This gif is so wild to me
The complete lack of safety mechanisms in the older car is confusing my brain.
It's amazing people survived car accidents back then at all.
No crumple zone.
No airbag.
Dude just goes chest head and neck into a crumping steel column and windshield
The entire cabin gets destroyed
The fricking driver side front tire blsting into the cabin and pushing your femurs backwards off your pelvis
Brutal

My parents had a 73 New Yorker.. What a pile of shite.. They traded it in 3 or 4 years later.. But not before my brother decided to take it on a short road trip to the Gulf Coast and the POS broke down... Now my dad had to spend money to get the car towed and fixed before trading it in...

Modern cars have to meet safety standards and are designed to take the brunt of the impact vs your body taking the impact. Some of y’all are truly fricking retarded
I think everyone here knows that. You don't think a bunch of guys who talk about cars all the time don't know that shite? Jesus, dude... maybe it's you that's "fricking retarded".
The image is cool because you can see the stark difference in how the cars are constructed to take damage. We know how it works, it's cool seeing it.

That’s not a good comparison at all. It’s apples to oranges.
Let’s see what happens when the old car T-bones the new car.

My family had a big old Chrysler around that year model or perhaps a couple years later.
It was huge. It really was like a land yacht.
I could stretch out from head to toe in the backseat. Some really good times were had back there.
I don’t remember it giving us any problems. I would love to have that car right now.

Totally not shocked. I wish manufacturers would go back to the sheet metal of the 70s and earlier

In 1970 I was stationed in Iceland.One morning I was driving a Dodge pickup,stopped at a stop sign and a Lieutenant in a Cherolet(Navy) truck hit me in the rear going pretty fast.
Dodge truck was barely damaged,Chevrolet truck was totaled
I saw the bastard coming,in the rear view mirror.I slid down the seat and pushed down on the brake pedal.Knocked me all the way across the intersection.

The original post was supposedly a modern car hitting a 7Os car.
I posted a modern car that really did hit a 60s car.

The frick are you even babbling about? Most of the ot gives two shits about cars.
My reply to the OT is in reference to the OP saying everything is made to be disposable

That’s been posted and that is a head-on collision and not a T-bone collision which I referenced in the post to which you are responding.
I maintain that a T-bone collision of the old vehicle, especially the one in the OP, into the new vehicle at almost any speed would be absolutely catastrophic to the inhabitants of the car being struck.

Is that why there are car and truck threads on here all the time? Because they don't give two shits?
You need to settle!!!!
