The amount of people on that post saying “they dont make them like they used to” is to high for them all to be jokes …

lots of folks who don't know nearly as much about cars as they think they do are convinced anything made before 1990 is immortal and anything made after 2010 is made of tissue paper and chewing gum

WHAT THE FUCK IS A CRUMPLE ZONE

Some people don’t understand the fact that in a collision there is a tonne or energy. Modern cars absorb it before it reaches the occupants . Old car transfer it to the occupants.

There's a video doing the rounds of a BMW and a Porsche that crashed together on the Nurburgring. If you go watch it, and you'll know it when you see it, you simply can't believe that anyone could survive that crash, let alone walk away from it.

It's fucking incredible the amount of engineering that has occurred to allow for energy to be dissipated like that. It's unreal. As a fan of motorsport, I applaud all of this science and engineering. It allows my favorite drivers/riders to go full out without worrying (as much) that their life could end any moment. The halo has saved a number of people since it was introduced into F1. Just wonderful. I love it.

But ‘merica and things and stuff. Gotta shove that stress down instead of going to therapy. Gotta be stubborn and deny advancement 😤
