Well dont flip then you have nothing to worry about lol

now i see why they are cuttin light trucks. like what that first comment said. people are sissys now.

IMO
Just another example of them saving and cutting costs on building. Using less expensive milder steel to build the cab. When they should be using higher strength steel for the cabin's structure.
Where they have cut back to make the truck lighter and more fuel efficient has now costed them in safety.

they dont make 'em like they used to.

Aint that the truth though..... if you did that test to a pre 1990 truck it would need a few scratches buffed out and thats about it....

but not cars. at least head on...

Nice find Andrew
I guess we can eat a lil crow there LOL
It's a good thing they don't make them like they use to.

I'm sure if they dropped that Malibu and Bel-Air on their roofs they would collapse on to the driver too.

haha yup i bet they would. my suspension teacher showed me that vid. last semester. i totally thought the bel air would kick its butt. i'd still take one over the '09 any day. haha
