I think I'll keep my 1993 RRC LWB.
It took a Chevy pickup pushing a Toyota Tercel at at least 25mph in a bang-bang crash on I-35. And did NO. And I mean no significant damage. The insurance people for the kid in the truck wrote me a check for 1600$. Not sure what they thought was buggered but I took it anyway.
