tragedy at a car show!

Tragedy to the owner.

it is a tragedy... classic cars getting damaged means even fewer of them around. If she had hit another modern car, well there's millions of them around, but the classics are slowly disappearing...

The damage to the Lexus is pretty minimal in comparison.

I couldn't agree with you more lightweight high strength steel has done wonders for cars. A guy at work thinks older cars were built much better than the cars now I strongly disagree with him. I bet you even yaris would take a side impact better than that old lemans did the airbags in the lexus didnt even deploy so it shows you she wasnt even going that fast maybe 20 mph. This test proves my point lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joMK1WZjP7g
