Head-on: '09 vs. '59

In 1988 was was involved in a head-on car crash.  It was a bad deal, I was driving a 1982 VW Rabbit and it held up pretty well.

I was lucky, VW’s are a solid car.  It crumpled where it should and held up where I was sitting.

Anyway – I saw this video a while back and was talking to some people about it this weekend and couldn’t find it.  But I did.  Pretty wild how far we’ve come.

This has to be the 10th time I’ve had to say awesome for VW – but I really hope this isn’t one of those times when I have to say…but the VW said no.  (VW Will Sell a 200 MPG Car in 2010)

So you’re excited about the 2010 Prius, with its modest mileage gains. Or maybe you really want a Chevy Volt, with a 40 mile all-electric range. 2010, as we’ve noted, is going to be a good year for green cars. But, well, this is ridiculous.

So – save your money and let hope this one makes it!
