When I was a kid, my uncle hit a buck with a ‘53 Cadillac. The whole family got venison, the Caddy got a busted headlight. Those cars were tough.

Yeah. So tough they often killed the poor individuals inside by either kissing the steering wheel with their chest or putting a head through the front windshield after busting the hard glass. But the car might only have a dented fender.

I’ll never forget and accident that happened on my street when I was around 6 or so. A guy was drunk, ran off the road and hit a telephone pole with the right front fender.

It didn’t appear the accident was even at that high a rate of speed. The driver died from chest trauma from what we heard. The ambulance driver knew my parents and he was also a funereal home director/mortician.

I’ll take today’s car thank you.
