Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Could that wrinkled white thing resting against the drivers seat back be a cut up air bag left after the driver was removed?

That is the poster pic of why not to drive small cars.

My smallest car was an 85 Caddie, other than that it has always been SUVs, trucks and full size (and I mean FULL size - like 15 passenger)vans.

Of course I also used to drive semi’s during the summer for our farm.

Side collision compression of upper torso can cause internal rupture of blood vessels ( for example aorta descends from top of the heart on the left side). Internal massive injuries, or most likely head/neck trauma. The airbag is just not fast enough.

when his 2008 Mini-Cooper collided with a propane tanker

Pretty much anything vs a tanker truck is a guaranteed loss. But, hitting one head-on, with a Mini Cooper, removes any trace of doubt.

In a big car, the car takes the beating. In a small car, you take the beating.

Well, so much for airbag technology...didn’t do him any good.....especially not deplored.. The Al Frankenand what looks like Obama bumper stickers just solidified my first thought: “A journalist bought it - so frickin’ what?”
