Ah, well. At least usenet is better for this post having been ignored by you and other Google Groups detractors! Tim |

Good for you Tim! Thanks for the direct link. Mr. XS11E must not have
watched many crash test videos. I've watched allot of them (they are hugely interesting to see which vehicles do better and which do worse) and never even crossed my mind that this could have been faked and I'm one of those 'conspiracy theorists' Chris 99BBB "Tim M." > wrote in message ...

While it did ,ook pretty nice inside, here's the scoop ont he car: "when the institute went looking for a 1959 Bel Air to crash-test there was one thing the organization didn't want and some things it did. "We didn't want to crash a museum piece," Mr. Zuby said. "We were not looking for one that had been restored for museum or show quality." But the vehicle had to have a solid structure, although a little surface rust would be acceptable. They found what they wanted in Indiana. "The frame was sound and all the body panels were sound," he said. It had a 3.9-liter 6-cylinder engine and was in driving condition. The car was bought for about $8,500 and had about 74,000 miles on the odometer, which was broken. It was trucked to the test center in Virginia." |

It's phony, it was very carefully staged to prove the point they intended to prove. Very much like a certain "News" network blowing up trucks. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

Funny: "that will buff right out" "I was hoping the 59' would eat? the 09' and crap out something better looking." Interesting: "It appears that there is no engine or tranny in the engine compartment. That makes the test suspect and dishonest if that is the? case." "I was a volunteer fireman at the site of a head-on collision. Both cars were heavily damaged. One was a new 1998 Lumina. The other was a 1972 Caprice (exact? same frame as 68 Impala).The two Lumina passengers had severe but non-life threating injuries. In the Caprice were three dead teenagers all wearing their seat belts!" and they go on and on... |
