I like how in the first vid, the rear passenger sticks his head out the window like "Oh hey, whats going on out here?"

[slobuny]

tears of sadness overcome me when I see a MKI get wrecked.
Not to safe either....oh well.

I thought pretty much the same thing.

Could be worse:



I know it is filled with a ton of weight, but it is still scary

That vid of the bus, the bus had something stoopid like 30,000lbs in the back of it. They were testing the wall...

Ha, you know, I've seen so many crash tests lately of new cars that it seemed strange at first that no airbags went off, then I remembered that these cars are old..

I also like the no sealt belt required thing in the 70's. I was like why is he flying around and then oh yeah.

A mk I is a motorcycle with 4 wheels and metal around it...

Regardless, it would be one of the best cars to drive from the VAG family.

I'm pretty sure that first video was done here in Buffalo, NY.
My father knew someone that worked at Calspan (where they did those crash tests)
and he had some of the photographs of the mk1s
I scanned them at one point, but I think I lost them when my hard drive crashed

go get them again
