I was on a salvage auction website, and noticed this poor g40. I just hope the driver got out alive. Really hits home that you have to be careful! I have a 92 GT polo coupe, but one day i will have a g40. But it seems all are bent or have been bent

i think the reality is any car hit in that position is pretty much doomed...even some of the newest cars.  side impact safety is still something a lot of cars lack.  i think the next decade or so will see a big leap in side impact safety think how far they have improved over the last decade untill now.

Ok... What about general safety of the G40s not only side impact. As a result.

Best bet is just try not to hit anyone or anything & you will never need to know  :D

I don't think I'd want anything off that car. It'd be weird.

Seriously, that looks serious. Think i'll slow down now (or buy a full on roll cage)
