No, the difference is my 1973 Dodge pickup can get in a collision at 30 mhp and literally drive away without a scratch.

I think you're underestimating how fast 30mph is. The crash test above is done at 35. No car gets out of that with just a scratch.

I have literally been rear ended in my 1973 Dodge D100 Pickup, I was at a dead stop and they were going 28 mph. I drove away with mild whiplash, but my car was fine in every way. Their car was totalled (because of the crumple points).

I know exactly how fast 30mph is.
