"I'm deader than a doornail. But what gas mileage I used to get!"

Note that the damage was done by a *motorcycle*. If the pilot was wearing a helmet and didn't get hit by other traffic after ejection, he's probably OK.

The car driver almost certainly has to be dead.

OMG! I'm going to go out and kiss my sturdy, heavy, four-door sedan right this minute. A motorcycle did that much damage? Cripes.

Another thing...why do they only do crash tests at like 35 MPH? Do most crashes really happen at theat low of a speed? That seems odd to me. Never did understand that.

Whatever kind of car that was... It lost in a collision with a medium sized motorcycle!

And here I was thinking of getting something smaller for my commute into work. After seeing what even just a motorcycle can do to one of these mini-cars, I think I'll keep my Durango.

That's hard hitting and true.

I love it when they take their frameless, lightweight compact car and say "With airbag". (sarcasm)

In Europe there are so so many of these communist cars. They all seem to have them. They are the new Trabants and Ladas of the semi socialist Europe where big government thinks for the people by eliminating freedom through taxation (But technically, it's not illegal- you just can’t afford it as a normal person). I’d feel guilty if I stuck my wife and daughter in such a car on the Autobahn or Highway.

I have a friend in Fairbanks who hit a Moose on the Main Highway between Eielson AFB and Ft. Wainwright. He threw the Moose 40 feet (He was speeding a bit) and that animal was HUGE! He had the biggest Ford SUV built (Excursion?) and it was totaled. NO ONE in the car was hurt.

Imagine if the bike had been a Boss Hoss. The car would have been cut in half.
