It’s 1992. Your mom just took you through the Dairy Queen drive in after supper. It was 30C today, and it’s going to be 35C tomorrow. You’re going to go swimming at the local outdoor pool with your mom, little brother, auntie and favourite cousin, tomorrow though. Mom will probably put on that Blue Rodeo tape on the way back. It’s not your favorite, but you find yourself waiting for the song hooks.
Life is simple and life is good.
You could drunk drive into a brick wall at forty-five miles an hour and the only damage would be yourself smeared all over the inside of it.
I had an old Malibu, and I was backing into an alley and a telephone pole was somehow out of my vision. I hit it full force with the rear bumper. Got out and the chrome was still perfect, and no dent in the bumper…but wow what a jolt.
You’re probably really lucky that you were reversing and had the entire seat to cushion you.
Hey man I had a 1967 Plymouth Newport that had to have 454 engine just haul the car around. Fucker was tank on wheels.
Cars are super fat anymore so I’ll bet my VWs golfs door weighs at least as much.
For reference in 1996 I was hit in my 88 Jetta by an 83 Caprice classic stationwagon, she was going 55 I was doing 45 and she hit me head on. I could open the door to my car she had to be cut out.
My parents wrote both VW in Germany and VW USA thanking them for building a good car and got a shit ton of swag
I’ve literally taken apart my Golf’s doors a half dozen times (Various electrical issues and part replacements). Mk5 mind you not mk1/2 like your Jetta probably was, but they are shockingly light. Like 1mm thin sheet metal molded into a reinforcing shape, the latch motor is by far the heaviest thing in there.
My 2019 Golf weighs 2800 pounds according to the States of Florida, it weighs 3240 pounds on the scale at the drag strip.
A '94 caprice weighs about 4000 pounds and it is a BoF car.
Looks like the door to the Cadillac sitting in my dad’s garage. Things heavy af
Suckers to the side
