Let's see 'em for your cars. I'm certain this has been done before, but why the hell not do it again?

Here's my Safari (1996 Astro in video)

Dad's Silverado (2003 refresh in video)

And Mom's Fusion (I may have typed Vue as first)

So the Fusion might be the only car at the house that isn't a total deathtrap. The Safari folds in half and the Silverado has it's doors ripped open, exposing passengers. And those are the two cars I drive the most, awesome.

As long as I wear a helmet at all times, I should be okay.

If I had an airbag, I would be a lot more comfortable lol. The 4Runner had a fully boxed chassis long before Ford had rights to brag about it in a commercial, so it's a brute.

and my moms 2015.5 Volvo S60

Mine's a SS but structurally it's the same.

Not the greatest. Roof rail kinks.

This has been done before. Oh well. I'm still safe.

(Skip to 2:30 for the actual test) Amazing to think it was one of the safest cars you could buy in 1979. it scored 4 starts for the driver and 3 stars for the passengers. It scored higher than the volvos at the time. I guess if you don't ming loosing a mouthful of teeth in the steering wheel, it's safe.

Volvo is cheating. They are impervious to crashes.

Surprisingly my Subaru looks safer than the Volvo, as its structure appears to hold up far better than the Volvo's.

The only real difference is I have no airbags

Well, this is suitably terrifying

The BMW looks a lot better actually

My dad's is definitely the safest.....of course the one I drive the least

Can't find a crash test for my '97 SHO, so here's its spiritual successor:

Surprisingly my SVT Focus looks just as safe as my 9-5. My 9-3 looks to be better than either of them. Too bad the car is shit in every other way.

2002 Saab 9-5 moderate overlap IIHS crash test:

Closest I could find to my 1990 is a 1985: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPp5mh…

Anything newer is a 940/960 which includes SIPS and passenger air bags, so different results.

Welcome to old cars. Cheaper, but less safe. It is what it is.

I actually have an '03 which has a slightly reinforced subframe so it should actually fair better than this.

I used to own one of these.

This is possibly the world's first crash test video - it's an actual Citroen advertising film.

I'm impressed.

GTI for the small overlap crash test (the wheel/tire would probably absorb more energy in my car as it only has 15"s, which should cause less damage behind it):

ESC test, something I haven't seen before, for good measure:
