Hi OUK, Re: Cars that are a bit weak for rentals...........

I saw this slide show this AM and thought about rental car fleets....

I loved the comment that crash tests done on small cars were done with other small cars. Does that mean if we drive a small car we should only aim at other small cars? or does it mean we should only drive on roads that don't allow SUVs?

Recently my wife was turning left from a 55 MPH two lane road when she was struck from behind.

5000+Lb VW Touareg = drove away after the accident with sheet metal damage, but not even a broken tail light.....

2900 Lb Ford Focus = flat bed towed away; LF wheel pushed back to firewall; car leaking various colored fluids; Crumple Zone of car did its job, but significant cosmetic and structural damage; car probably totaled.

Both drivers were fine. My wife was startled by the crash as she was already starting across the oncoming lane and didn't see the other person about to hit her. The other lady was fine other than some seat belt rash on her shoulder and a "yucky" taste from the air bag popping in her face.

Best regards,
