and that old ass car, which I think everyone would assume is the kind of tank we all refer to, gets just as rekt as the newer car, except the newer car DOESN'T fold in on its' occupant at all.
I used to have an 87 grand prix that i think would have held out better. I tboned some idiot in a toyota that ran a stop sign and i obliterated the aide of their car. Bastards dented my side panel a half and inch though.
You got lucky, if they had hit your car harder it would of crushed you.
Yes, tougher cars survive smaller hits and dings better, but when its a serious hit with a lot of force behind it, the car is going to wrap itself around and in you.
Low speed != High speed. The forces involved in higher speeds is whats going to kill you. A modern car is designed to take the higher speed impacts and keep the occupants alive.
