Re: [DML] The COMPLETE DeLorean crash test videos, report and more.

Don't forget to mention not only that the Cadillac driver was uninjured (being drunk helped -- seriously, drunks do fare better in the collisions they cause than occupants of the vehicles they hit), but also that, like my Lincoln, the Cadillac sustained only minimal damage to its left fender (it wasn't a T bone -- Cadillac crossed the center line).

Just speaking for the vehicles themselves, if a DeLorean meets up with a larger model anything, the DeLorean *WILL* lose. Something to keep in mind as you motor among pickups, SUV's, etc.
