Geo aside, cars tend to have the majority of their crumple zones on the front end. Which is why in a fender bender, visually the front of the car tends to always look much worse than the back of the other one. Things bend and shatter to absorb the energy, so it doesn't transfer down the line.
If it's a case of a Geo vs. big ole' American boat, I'd definitely rather be in the boat...but if it's the boat against an immovable object like a concrete wall or giant oak, you may be better off in the smaller car with crumple zones that shatters and bends around the safety cell. The last time I took Physics was in the late 90s, but as I recall, crash energy doesn't just disappear because you're in a big heavy car, it just gets transferred into something else. If it doesn't get absorbed by your car, or whatever you hit, it tends to get absorbed into you.

Physics has been revised, they're just guidelines now.

She re-arranged some of the dirt on the side of my trusty but crappy old truck but she was in a hurry! But her door was completely mangled and wouldnt close.
"What do I do now??"
I dont care. You knocked some of the rust off of my passenger door. I cant be bothered, I've got a class to get to. You figure it out. Maybe call your daddy?
What about your truck repairs??
"You're kidding right? I've never even washed this thing. Repairs? Not gonna happen. The doors dont even lock."
This is an $80,000 Audi tho!!
"That doesnt sound like a 'me' problem. Figure it out."

This reads like how you imagined the conversation could've played out after you figured out the maximum cool responses the next day.

I was watching some local news reporting from the fires in Los Angeles and sleazy reporters GMG. I get that they have a job to do, but when someone has just lost everything including their PETS in a fire and is sobbing on the road outside their burnt-down home, the last thing they likely want is for you and your ####ty camera crew to run up to shove a mic and camera in their face to ask "What's going through your mind right now?!". Freaking ghouls.

CRA's hold music seriously makes me contemplate ending my life dramatically early. And suddenly.
They have to have chosen this #### on purpose. Nobody picks this by accident.

If it happens I'm going to make sure they're on the line to listen to the entire ordeal.

Right! Same with Tool in Vicarious. There's definitely a psychology to it but sometimes it's really hard to watch.

These websites that put up a line that’s minimally controversial, then you click through for an onslaught of brutal pop-ups/overs. Is there a profession that’s more embarrassing to be in.
A defence attorney takes slings but loser click bait guys doesn’t take bullets?
