Do NOT try this at home. Even an M88 recovery vehicle will be damaged in this test.

There’s a YouTube of cars plowing into concrete walks and just like this, the Ford Explorer manages best.

Sure wish I knew how to fix my console lights/functions.

I noticed that too.

But considering what Ford is calling a Mustang these days I just shrug it off.

Yeah, no. I think the Miata convertible was a little worse.

Probably not where salt is used on the roads.

I drove Volvos for years and they used to be galvanized, just takes extra time for the salt.

That was great! I enjoyed the little flip of the Tesla!

I imagined the guy with the Ford Explorer said “Hey! Look what you did to my door!”

My Ford friends tend to think like that.

I have worked with those steel coils and they are no joke. That coil is almost a solid piece of steel by weight. They will tip a forklift over if you are not careful.
