This next video perfectly demonstrates why rich people buy big SUVs, seemingly for no other reason than to show off and go to the market. It's because in the even of a crash, no amount of Euro NCAP stars will help you if you've been flipped over like a paper bag.
In this next Russian crash video, a Hyundai Getz gets to taste the mighty wrath of a VW Amarok, which the poster of the video has confused for an SUV. Because the German pickup weighs as about 2 tons, it moves the little Korean car out of the way, just like Hulk flips tank in the movies.
The explanation of the crash is quite simple. The Getz has the right of way, entering the intersection on a green signal. The Amarok driver is probably making a left turn and should give way, but probably can't see the other car because of the high position.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
