Re: Safety first?

Ever notice when you are walking through a junk (uh, I mean salvage) 
yard, how no matter how mangled a car is, how the drivers area is 
intact?  This is something I look at when I see a wreck.  The worst 
one I've seen was a Corrado, At least that is what they said it was.  
The front bumper and drivetrain were actually under the floor boards, 
and the rear bumper was pushed into the back wheels.  I would guess 
the car was sandwiched between two 18 wheelers.  When I looked 
inside, the drivers and passengers areas were not crushed, only the 
passengers seat was angled 15 degrees toward the center of the car.

My point being that VW,s have the crumple zones and designs to absorb 
hard hits.  I've seen American cars with the engines pushed into the 
drivers legs, but the VW engine will fold under the car, saving the 
driver.  Yea that little Scirocco may fold up when it is T-boned by a 
blazer, but it will indeed do its job of absorbing the impact and 
doing its best to save you.
