Nice new Smart car dude - As for the above video I didn't watch but from memory its a smart car hitting a non deformable concrete barrier at 80mph executed by the show 5th Gear in the UK.

NCAP in Europe, the governing body for the testing and classification of the saftey of cars doesn't actually crash cars over 40mph in any non deformable test as its considered non survivable. I was amazed at how the smart stood up, as I recall you could still open one of the doors. There are far many cars on the road that are way more of a death trap than a smart, I'd drive one anyday, and as you say driving past gas stations is fun, filling up is a ball ache.
