Why did they keep running into each other?

Sheeesh

You would think they would learn after the first collision.



I mean they are going slow enough to avoid each other.

What do they have driving these cars, dummies or something?

and what ugly paint jobs on those cars.

Well, I wouldn't be so offended if my sister didn't have a good job as one. She's even offered to put in a recommendations for me...

Did you see that the driver's airbag of the Fiat blew up under the pressure?

I'm not surprised. The car is little more than a beer can with wheels.

Now, let us see how that Fiat will fare in a head-on collision with two semi-trailers!

Apparently that vid with the yellow car was an Ozzie demo video to show how cut and shut cars were unsafe.

Even for a 1970's designed car that seems a little extremem.

As for the Audi vs a Fiat, no contest Audi will win.
