      I remember reading that abouy half of the people killed in the 50's and 60's were ejected from the car (two of cousins and one of their husbands were killed in an ejection accident).

      Why was GM crash testing Plymouths?

      Daaang!! That was amazing. The rear window didn't break either.
      I would like to see today's car do that same test at that speed and see what happens. It looked like it was going pretty fast and straight on. That beam didn't budge at all!

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Not to offend anyone but my favorite is the car dragging two dummies after being hit.
