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.

Hasn't the weight of cars been increasing? Pick a model and track the curb weight over generations. It seems to be going up.

Pretty sure this car had more ashtrays than it did safety features too

I bet you haven't seen what the orcas have been up to this week

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 hours ago

It definitely had some in the doors.

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.

You'd end up with the steering column through your chest because crumple zones didn't exist. https://youtu.be/fPF4fBGNK0U

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 27 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I think we are saying the same thing.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

We are. Sorry. It's early and I misread.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

It’s like 2pm!

Damn lazy hippies sleeping all day.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 49 minutes ago (1 children)

Dude, it's like 5:30pm. The east coast is just waking up. It's early.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 4 points 48 minutes ago

East coast hippies smell the worst.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

And that steering column turns out fine.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You're probably really lucky that you were reversing and had the entire seat to cushion you.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 hour ago

The entire bench seat :)

[–] the_xboxkiller@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 minutes ago

If you closed that shit hard enough the ground would shake.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Hey man I had a 1967 Plymouth Newport that had to have 454 engine just haul the car around. Fucker was tank on wheels.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Looks like the door to the Cadillac sitting in my dad’s garage. Things heavy af

This guy gets it

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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 Alltrack 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.
