ozzy85 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 A car can get totaled due to $$ of replacement parts. the cost of all those airbags going off and everything that breaks is factored into the value of the repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 cars today are intentionally designed to crumple but in '59 they were designed to withstand as much as possible. some point along the way they figured it was more important to use the car to save the driver instead of just save the car.. the real question here is what in the fcuk did they really prove by destroying an old classic car.. I mean it's not a mopar but still..How far automotive safety has come? It actually seems really easy to identify what they were going for. How far auto safety has come? They need to prove this?? Any way my post was sort of tongue in cheek.. I hate seeing nice old cars destroyed, even chevys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
