Neverway! You should embrace the roadrage and play chicken with oncoming traffic on the highway like there's no tomorrow.

Maybe there is ONE eductaed individual out there.
Q: Given the Law of conservation of Energy(And the First law of Thermodynamics), when two cars collide head on and stop moving, what happens to the Kinetic Energy?

The answer is HEAT energy.

How bout a Saab that did poor - aint they supposed to be a Safe car like Volvo?

Heres the 07 Yaris. Rating GOOD.

From IIHS.org:

"The Institute began frontal offset crash testing in 1995. In the Institute's 40 mph offset test, 40 percent of the total width of each vehicle strikes a barrier on the driver side. The barrier's deformable face is made of aluminum honeycomb, which makes the forces in the test similar to those involved in a frontal offset crash between two vehicles of the same weight, each going just less than 40 mph."

i grew up riding in escorts, vegas, fiestas,and moved on in my later years to dodge darts, geo metros and ford festivas. all of which would crash worse or as bad as a yaris. and when i'm not in the yaris I'm on a kawasaki which also would not fare well against a camry.
safe driving is a good thing.. learn it live it..
