Dude, I figured out the secret of being a happy Boxster owner. I bought my wife one. I get to have fun with it, and I can always just say, Naw it belongs to the wife, I have a 911. :)

70 mph into a concrete barrier, shell intact. Pretty impressive. For both cars.
The comparison between the 2 small cars is barely valid, too many variables, ex: the small white car hit at a less acute angle.

Want to test your theory, with the bicycle ?

I was considering a Smart Car.

Crash rating is pretty good on it for the size.

Do the Hyabusa upgrade.
