Yeah, saw this a couple years ago. Kinda puts the lie to the old argument about the older cars being made of "real steel", doesn't it? I'd still love to have one, though.

Sue would claim that they rigged the test, because any fool knows that cars built around all those government regulations, are bad for you. ;)

The old cars were great as far as looks, class, easy to work on... But let's face it. All in all the old cars were real pieces of junk.

True, and I have a $30 mass-produced watch that beats the heck out of all those old clocks in the timekeeping department. At some point, the well maintained old stuff just transcends junk and becomes art or a valued slice of history.

Yeah, with a 5 point. Although without a full cage, it wouldn't have a bit of difference in this case.
