I saw that part, but it took me a minute to figure out that he was probably thinking about how much safer that a large truck is.

OFF TOPIC, I couldn't imagine getting rearended in one of those little crappy Smart cars. Your back is against the hatch!!

Ok, gotcha now. That is a good feeling know you're not gonna have someone else's bumper in your windshield, unless you rearend trucks like Rubberfrog or rydesolow.

After reading the OP again, I am seriously thinking that your buddy should stop driving. He totaled his Mustang, then crashed a Cavalier while shopping for a new car.
I'm not so sure he needs a car at all

i saw an accident like that in Detroit about 10 years ago but it was with an avalanche. i dont think it would matter what you are in in that situation b/c it looked the same. just more chevier

Being in that situation would be extremely painful if you happened to live.
