S 70MPH head on 70MPH is equivalent to driving 140MPH into a solid wall.

Not quite buddy, pick up the physics book again. MOMENTUM is what counts here, not just velocity.
Not only that, but a head on crash is safer as two cars absorb and disperse the energy instead of one.
Ya that was completely wrong....interesting to read so many other people were fed that garbage in school like I was and there are a lot of good sites that show why this is incorrect.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.
Are you saying two cars head on at 70 mph and both equally distributing the collision energy is no safer than a single car going 140 mph into a indestructable wall and taking all the energy itself?
I'd rather hit another car head on at 70 mph than crash into a concrete post at 140 mph.
crashing into water alone at that speed would be pretty bad. At 140mph, I'd take hitting a pole though...most are designed to have some sheer rating and also I could minimize impact much easier than trying to figure out what another driver would try to do.
That white one outside. Sometimes. I bought gasoline ...what, three times this year? I did finally get the oil changed; I hear you're supposed to do that at least once every 2 years.Originally posted by: theslickvik

1997 Cadillac Deville for a DD
1977 Corvette 4spd T-Tops for really rare occasions
1984 Corvette - to deliver obscene ass kickings when finished (427BBC in progress)
1982 Cadillac Fleetwood Broughm d'Elegance - whats not to love about a 350 diesel with a whopping 100hp? - my first car - lots of sentimental value - extremely rare cruiser
