Interesting predicament apparently came to my attention this morning. I get an Email from my mother saying that my brother was in an accident last night. Apparently a kid in a Ford Windstar was doin like 70 mph in a 45 and never even hit his breaks when he slammed into the car right behing my brother... Here is the Kicker It was a Brand new BMW X5 just purchased like last week... Sucks for that woman... The BMW was completely totalled, and because of the force of the cars she ended up hitting my brothers Toyota Matrix... His whole back end of his car is destroyed, and both my brothers who were in the car are suffering from back and neck pain now.

The windstar and the BMW were completely totalled and had to be flatbed transported where as my Brothers car could be driven away.

So i guess the Japanese Car wins this battle.

Imagine what that kid's insurance payments are going to look like. He just made his insurance company have to cover like >$50k of damage.

the german car lost cuz it got hit front and back, if it was rear ended hard enough to then crush its front off your brothers back.. No ways its surviving. I reality, german beats Ford lol, Japanese laugh at stupid fight and live for one more day. Lol but yeah its good everyone was all right.

With the nature of the crash, it was a given the matrix would take the least damage. Aside from the fact that the other two cars sucked up most of the impact prior to hitting the matrix, the one that gets rear ended is generally the one that takes the least damage.

Get something like a Buick Electra 225 (deuce and a quarter) and see who wins that battle ;)

Sorry to hear bout your bros

thanks for the concern over the family, and yea i definitely think that the bmw or whatever car was in between another 2 cars would def get the worst of it. I have to hand it to my brother though, he saw the kid coming and took his foot off the brake in order to minimize the damage on his car

No doubt... I used to have a 76 and 78 Buick Lesabre... Between the two cars they had 5 accidents. Mostly scratched the paint, with the worst being a ding in the bumper about palm sized... every other vehicle that hit those Buicks was Totaled out :p

I Really miss BIG American Steel.
