I guess theres an advantage to a Chiseled nose! The car in front goes UP onto the car rather then the front getting all crumpled up and the door not being able to open...

Notice all the other ones squased up and coke cans, the XM lifted the car in front up and slid under.

I do think Id prefer that, so I could get the door open, and be rescued a little easyer.

I don't like the idea of the car in front riding through the windscreen and hitting my head though.

I was goiung to say its not a good idea to go under most stuff, ok with a car but of your behind a van or lory you in for some decapitation, which would ruin your day a bit.
