Crash Test Videos

They have videos of many cars in here doing crash tests. If you can stomach it you can watch the TL get distroyed.

I remember those pics you posted jptl04, I showed them to my wife and friends. Everyone was amazed that you lived through that, especially w/ the injuries you received ( thinking they would have been worse). After seeing those I always insist that my wife take my car when taking the kids with her.

Holy Shit!! I'm sure there is a story to go along with the picture, do you mind sharing? What kind of car/truck hit you/ Speed of the impact? This brings back bad memories for me. When I was 16 my girlfriend was killed when a drunk driver hit us, the passanger side looked very similar to this. We were in a Lincoln Navigator and hit by a ford ranger pickup. Glad to hear you made it out of that one alright.

Damn! I just read you were also hit by a drunk driver and the dick was driving a ford ranger...What state did this happen, wonder if it was the same jerkoff. The guy that hit us was driving on a suspended license (suspended for dui) and he ended up doing like 4 months in jail and a ton of community service... Pathetic! Really glad that you made it out of that in one piece

Interesting find....it's actually kinda cool to see that, cause it looks like a TL will protect you really well in a front end collision, but best of luck in a side impact.

Thanks subinf.

Closed as a repost. An open thread is probably still out there for you to comment on.
