Here's a before/after of my Gen 1 xB, may it Rust in Peace...
I had slowed to about 5MPH, to yield to a LEO with his lights on, but the dude behind me in a Dodge Ram P/U was chatting to his passenger and didn't see the LEO or me. He hit me doing about 30ish MPH. |

Yeah, I was a bit surprised when they totalled it. The guy pushed the trunk into the rear passenger bench area. Good thing I had no one back there, especially on the passenger side, they would have been hurt pretty bad I think.

the fact that the back got pushed into the passenger seating area (where child carseats reside) doesn't really seem to support the "safer" theory...

4,500lbs at 30mph plus the height difference... but if you ran the fucker into a wall it'd be safer than a non-unibody!

That thing actually does look like a roller skate.

How do you like the Gen II compared to I? I got mine in 04 and now have 140K on it. We've done nothing but maintenance on it up until this last weekend. The water pump's got a leak, so we have to replace that. I love that stupid thing, but we need to upgrade. I prefer the look of the old one to the new, but at the price I'd consider getting a new one. |
