Now this is cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xwYBBpHg1I&feature=player_embedded a prime example of statistics and road deaths..if we still drove cars like those built in the 50's the road tolls would be much higher..

That's impressive. It hurt to see that cool old ride smashed like that though.

Other technology advances: 2009 Malibu - Air Bags / 1959 Bel Air - Fuzzy Dice. :D

That was my wife's first classic--I showed her the same image when Hot Rod showed yesterday.

She was pissed that they wrecked that car, she always liked the dash, and the rear end--the rest of the car....not so much

Ouch. I like how the steering wheel pretty much hit the dummy in the teeth.
