DeLorean DMC-12 crash tests
Below are two archive videos of the DeLorean DMC-12 (the same model made famous in the Back To The Future films) crashing at 30mph and 40mph. I think it’s safe to assume that the driver of both vehicles would be seriously injured, if not dead from that kind of impact.

Speaking of crashes, there’s a website up and running called CrashMyDeLorean.com that wants you to choose how a brand-new 2008 DeLorean will be totalled. Of course, the 2008 DeLorean will only be “crashed” if the total donations reach $65,000 (enough to buy the vehicle to be destroyed). Seems like a waste of money if you ask me, not to mention also a waste of a good car. But I guess that’s not really the point if you’re going to run a website called CrashMyDeLorean.com.
