Like hitting an empty soda can with a hammer.

And this is clearly where the belief that bigger cars are safer came from.

Yep. In car vs. car collisions you're safer in the heavier car, barring any differences in safety equipment. But in car vs. stationary immovable object collisions, the size of the car wouldn't be as much of a factor as far as I know. It would come down to structural integrity and safety equipment.

Shows how pitifully marginal a front airbag is when the impact is not straight-on.

I'm kinda impressed on how well the Gremlin held up. The pinto was damn near vaporized, but someone in the gremlin might have lived.
