Oooooh, that video makes me sick to my stomach.

In July I was riding in the car with my daughter(17) driving when a lady who was parallel parked on the side of the highway pulled out to do a u-turn right in front of us. We t-boned her doing about 45 mph.

Thankfully, we were in my Expedition and not the '73 Beetle that was my daughter's car at that time. And that wreck was why I decided we needed to sell the '73 and get a NB-- airbags, etc. If she'd been in the '73 it probably would have looked like that crash test, or worse.

The other lady was driving a Honda Passport, which was totaled.

Thanks, fowvay. I wonder if this car will ever be on the US market?
