More convinced at how safe our cars are...
Hey guys this is the result of hitting a GMC at between 10-20 mph. I miss my baby but will be back in a month or so.

And better yet, look at the occupant rather than the car itself.
Modern cars are designed to look like crap after an accident, theyre designed to absorb and dissapate the forces as opposed to transmitting them into our fragile 600 pound bench pressing god like bodies.

My father doesn't understand this concept...
he still believes that a car in which the fender won't even dent in a 50mph collision is a good car! The reality of physics escapes him.

They did tests back in the 50's/60's with hardened steel plates etc etc
basically mini cars which would barely dent when smashed into at 50 mph by a huge concrete slab or something lol, anyway, the car wasnt much damaged, the crash test dummies were a pile of pieces in the car though.
