i dont know

if it would stop it but i would much rather try it in a benz if i had the choice!

that is pretty gruesome.

once on the way back from chicago i saw a car, a mustang i think, that had made the mistake of getting its nose under the trailer of a semi. the whole front end of the car was pinched down under the rear tandem wheels of the trailer. the passenger compartment was completely crushed flat. it didnt appear that there was any chance of survival.

makes me look at the trailers of a semi in a different light ever since.
