Veg!

For some reason I really don't think Louis will run into a concrete wall doing seventy! If you do Louis, just remember to get out on the passengers side!

Unfortunately I hit a careless moped driver on my bike with 14 miles, that was bad enough!! That was like hitting a concrete wall too!

The topspeed of the Smart is 84 miles, so it's pretty fast. Cars are never tested like that, I find it actually quite amazing what is left of it. Most compact cars do worse.

Thanks for posting!!

Veg - thanks for posting that! Looks like the little car faired better than expected.

Reminds me of a 16mm film Cory has - "Small Cars In Crashes", from 1972. My favorite line from the film is, "as it chops backwards, like a meatcleaver."
