It looks like the fender is from a different model year or maybe a different car. Still, standard beater. e: beaten.

Mitchard posted:Simple Newtonian physics. If you launch the air upwards there will be an equal and opposite reaction pushing the car downwards. They had to install left hand thread screws on that side because the air velocity was backing the screws out.

There's definitely something to be said for air bags and crumple zones.  The aftermath of the 'we don't need roads' leap. The driver went to the hospital with 'serious' injuries but was conscious and talking when police got to him.

JP Money posted:Someone in a thread recently posted an impact test against an old car and it got completely destroyed in a crash compared to a modern car with crumple zones. The car didn't have an engine so it was kind of a lovely test but the old car still held up way worse than its reputation would suggest. Maybe someone could invent some kind of sticky-auto-post for threads, that in this case would automatically post a refutation of this old canard every 15 pages or so.

There's a 9'6" down my way. It's a blind turn from the highway, but the local DoT was kind enough to give it a dedicated offramp so trucks can exit the highway without having to commit to the bridge.
