Been on vacation (slow internet) so I'm only getting to see these videos now. I found another video (from the other side) of that orange double cab hitting the stationary wall. It's quite obvious it is going VERY fast as the rear wheels pop up into the air about 4-5 feet! There are few cars manufactured today where you'd survive a 62mph crash into a fully stationary object. Most crash tests are done into other vehicles, posts, guardrails, etc. In addition that double cab had previous damage (it's not as obvious in the driver side view, but it is fairly obvious in the link posted. With a previousl damaged (and not repaired) vehicle you are beginning to compromise the manufacturers safety cage. Just remember that the next time you see a half repaired vanagon for sale...
