Crashed Road Runner

In a case like that one (stopped and getting hit from behind), the extra metal of an old car might have helped.

Possibly. I'm sure he knows more then me and there was probably weird things going on that benifitied the old car. Seeing these pictures just make me realize how dangerous some of these old girls are. Crumble zones, airbags, dashboard designs and regulations make for ugly cars but I would rather get hit by an air bag then have my face smash into a metal dash and a lap belt messing up my hips.
