We had a '59 Chevy when I was in high school. I'm sure glad I didn't have a head
on with the 2009 Malibu.

Damn, I thought those old cars were tanks.

A lot of us thought that both we and the cars were indestructible.

I knew a young lady who hit a tree with a Chevy of about that vintage.
Both she and the car were badly messed up. * The column of the
steering wheel pushed right back into the driver's compartment and
kind of wrapped the steering wheel around her head. *She survived
fortunately but was badly hurt.

And that was a reason for putting the key on the steering column
instead of the dash. people would get in a wreck and literally have
the key driven into their knee cap,
