- [Both] Whoa.
(imitates vomiting)
- New guys in the corner, puking his guts out.
- That's makes me a little bit scared.
- You need to sell that car.
We love old cars around here and you do too,
but our moms are worried.
They think we all drive death traps.
Today, we're gonna review crash test videos
of the cars that we love the most
to see if we're in as much danger as our moms say.
I'm James, he's Jeremiah.
Let's get dangerous.
- Woo.

And now back to the show.
- We're gonna kick it off with a Nissan 350 Z.
One of our favorite cars. We own two of them.
This crash test that we're about to watch Jer
is called the frontal barrier impact.
It simulates a 35 mile per hour head on collision.
Let's see how well our 20 year old
Japanese coops hold up to a wall.
- All right.
- It was just a wall.
- [Both] Oh.
- Airbags out.
- I think that, to be honest, that's a bad crash,
the airbag went out.
You'd definitely be sore, but I think you'd be fine.
I mean, he's going 35 miles an hour straight into a wall,
So you go from 35 to 0, real quick.
- Like that.
- That hurts. - Ooh, that hurts.
- And you know that that dummy is not as tall as you are.
- Dude, the knee pressure broke the-
- Straight through the-
- Straight through the glove box.
- The organization that does this test is called NHTSA
and they give cars a rating based on how well the driver
and passengers are protected from injury.
Five stars is good.
It means you got like a 90% chance of walking away.
One stars is very bad,
that means you got a 50% chance of
being like seriously injured.
So how do we think that the Z did?
- To be honest, not as bad as I thought it was gonna be.
- That car is 100% totaled,
but I think you'd walk away from it.
For sure.
I'd say driver four.
- That's a good guess.
- I'd say passenger three.
- Yes. I was gonna guess four, four.
- Four, four, four, three. Okay. Eight, seven.
Let's see how NHTSA actually reads.
- [Crewmember] The 350Z actually
got a five star rating for the driver
and a four star for the passenger,
a combined nine out of 10.
So a big reason why it did so well
is because the front end crumples,
so the impact is not transmitted to the cabin.
But the passenger's knees
hit the dashboard hard enough to crack the plastic.
- Yeah, like we noticed.
- We noticed. - We noticed that.
- All you need is to not have your knees get bashed
in the passenger and you're perfect.
- Yeah. Jeremiah,
I've been told that this next car is for you.
- Oh, this a surprise.
Yeah. What do we have?
- The Catfish Camaro.
You got one parked right in the parking lot right now.
- I do.
- Let's see how your good old Catfish holds up
against the oblique frontal impact test.
All right, this simulates a 65 mile per hour
impact at a 22 degree angle.
But unlike the brick wall that we just saw,
this uses a deforming barrier,
which means it'll take some of the impact.
It's got a little give.
- This is a great test,
'cause this is what most Catfish people do.
They do burn-outs on the streets
and then they run into a house.
- Oh. (beep)
- That car's fiberglass. Huh?
- Uh-huh.
- So this is more like a semi truck just nailing you
or just being like stuck on a train track.
- [Both] Whoa.
(imitates vomiting)
- Oh my God.
- That is not looking good, James.
That's makes me a little bit scared.
- You need to sell that car.
- But maybe on back then scale, might be a three, three.
- I'm gonna say three, three.
- Okay. That's good.
- [Crewmember] The 1997 Camaro
actually scored a four for the driver
and a five for the passenger.
- [James] I knew it, it's a slightly-
- I'm alive!
- So originally we were gonna put safest at the top.
But after that roller coaster,
I think we wanna put most dangerous at the top.
So I'm gonna move the Z down down a little bit.
- 'Cause it's pretty safe.
- Okay. So why is that safe?
- [Crewmember] I think part of the reason
was the long hood did take a lot of the impact.
So there was more crumple
before it got to the driver's area.
- And that's what we should think about it's.
- It looks very dramatic.
- But if the car's taking the hit
and you're not and it's blowed up,
and you're fine, then it's all right.
- Next, we're gonna look at
one of the most popular enthusiast cars
on the entire planet.
I think there's like four in the donut family.
Of course I'm talking about the NA Miata.
Some people think that the Miata is always the answer.
Maybe this test will prove otherwise. All right.
Maybe you'll be like, the only answer Miata is for
is how to die.
So we're about to look at the crash test for a Mazda Miata.
An NA.
- Ooh.
- 35 Miles an hour. You're straight to a wall.
- Pretty good. - Actually. Yeah. Not bad.
It doesn't weigh that much, right?
It doesn't have that much momentum.
- Dude. The passenger got totally boned though.
- Yeah. That guy looked like he wasn't wearing his seatbelt.
- This isn't about how the car does.
It's about how the passenger fares.
- That's what we were just saying.
Because the Catfish Camaro exploded.
- High speed film.
- Oh, almost.
- Yeah, I don't think he banged anything,
but he snapped his neck pretty fast.
- Yeah. He's hurt. That's a grandma, dead.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah. Think about somebody who's brittle.
- Well, we gotta put her in a home.
So I'm thinking driver five, passenger like two, three.
- I'm say driver four, passenger two.
- I'm gonna go one for the passenger
and four for the driver.
- In 1990, you could smoke in schools.
(laughing)
- There were the pencil machines and the cigarette machines.
- [Crewmember] The Miata actually
scored three for the driver and four for the passenger.
- What?
- [Crewmember] Even though the driver had an airbag,
the passenger actually experienced less acceleration
because old airbags were really powerful.
And in this case it slowed the driver's head down too fast.
- Ooh concussion.
- Ooh, (imitates smacking in face).
- Yeah, someone punching you in the face
while moving forward.
- With a boxing glove this big.
So this is more dangerous than a Catfish.
- Which I mean honestly makes sense.
- How about one of the most popular enthusiast cars ever
and for good reason, every generation is pretty dang good.
I'm talking about BMW three series.
So we're gonna compare a few different generations starting
with probably the more dangerous one, BMW E30.
- Oh, no airbag?
- No airbag, it's the 85.
- I mean, I don't know when stuff happened.
- I'm surprised it even has a (beep) seatbelt.
- [Crewmember] So in 1985,
they actually didn't do separate ratings
for driver and passenger.
So it's just one rating for the driver.
- Out of 10?
- [Crewmember] Out of five.
- I'd say this is a 1985, 4.
- Kind of agree.
- You gotta consider the year.
- Cause BMWs are notoriously known for being safe.
- And this would be one of the cars that like made that.
- Right.
- Even though his head blasted the steering wheel.
- Yeah, they're like, of course the head's
gonna blast the steering wheel.
- There's a steering wheel in front of the head.
- It's a car.
I'm gonna say four.
- Yeah, I agree. - I agree. Yeah, four.
- Even though it doesn't feel like a four.
- [Crewmember] The E30 actually scored a three out of five.
The head bouncing off the steering wheel was bad,
but you can also see the entire roof bending in the middle
indicating that the impact was being transmitted into the
passenger compartment more than it should have been.
- You know, I actually thought
that might have been a good thing.
Kind of transferring it around the passenger, but guess not.
- So this is the most dangerous car yet.
Next let's look at one of the best bargains in cars today.
E36, 3 series. We got one of 'em parked right up there.
This is a front overlap test,
which means there's only half a wall.
You're gonna hit half the front of the car.
- Nice. I'm calling it right now. It's gonna be a four.
- Four. Dude, you're like the Babe Ruth
of this game that we made up.
- Ooh. You had a baby in the back?
- Yeah.
- Okay. Well, based off the last one, the roof is fine.
- No passenger airbag went off, but he seemed to do okay.
- That's a bad crash.
- Have you guys watched any other overlap tests though?
- No. - No, we don't know.
- So I mean, I think that's gonna be worse for one side,
which you know, given that that's the test,
it might be better than you think, I'm going four.
- Yeah. I'm going fumf.
- Is this a combined score now?
- It's German for four.
- So what you think the passenger got?
- I think the passenger got a four as well?
- So eight? I'm going three, four.
- [Crewmember] E36 actually got four, four.
- Yeah.
- Pretty good.
- Fumf, fumf.
We're moving on to the next generation, super popular car.
Justin has one, E46.
We're gonna kick you out and go grab Justin.
- Cool.
- Do you know ahead of time what yours is?
- (beep) no.
- Justin's dog looks like George Clooney.
Can we get a picture of Justin's dog?
- Justin's dog.
- George Clooney.
- Smack.
- Way better than the others.
- That actually, yeah, that looks really good. Yeah.
- Looks like they finally figure the roof,
the previous two generations the roof buckled.
Which is not...
- That car seat is dangerous.
- Oh, that baby's hitting like back glass.
- Let us know in the comments
if you wanna see us make a video,
$10 junkyard car seat versus, $1,500 car seat.
- I think that's the best one.
- That's really good. Well, it's the newest car.
This is like, when, what year is your car?
- Mines '01.
- Okay, so this is in the 2000s. Well, the Zs were good.
- The Zs were good.
- Zs were like 2003. Yeah. Z was really good.
- Dude. I think this is a five, five.
- I think this might be five, five.
- Four and a half.
- You can't do that.
- Oh five. Totally. Yeah. Five.
- [Crewmember] E46 actually got a four driver,
five passenger.
- That's pretty good.
- Pretty good. That's pretty.
Just as safe as my Catfish.
- We're not here to talk about new cars. All right?
We're here for danger.
Let's talk about one of my first cars.
One of the most popular enthusiast cars out there,
so much so that they're stupid expensive.
Of course, the S13 240 SX from Nissan.
Your brother had one of these, yeah?
- Yeah, and it was a tin can.
- So you've driven one.
- Ugh. Yeah.
- How do you feel like it's gonna do?
- It can't be good. There's just no way.
- We're gonna look a rear impact test.
Also known as the Pinto test because when the Pinto got hit,
the gas tank would explode.
So this is to ensure that the fuel system remains intact
and doesn't explode, which is bad.
So let's see how the 1989 Nissan 240 does.
That's oh, that's way better than I thought.
- For the driver, yeah, they're fine.
- It's hard because there's no dummy to look at.
- That's surprisingly not bad.
- Yeah. I think that's good.
I bet in 1989 that's a five.
- That's not bad.
- [Crewmember] So the S13 passed.
- [All] Yay.
- [Crewmember] The S13 passed the rear impact test,
and as far as the frontal impact test,
which we do not have video for,
scored a three driver and four passenger,
tying with the Miata.
- It's good that the rear did well
because whenever I in an S13 I'm dragging wall, baby.
I'm dragging wall, baby.
Nolan what kind of car do you drive?
- 2006 Mustang GT. So.
- So, we're gonna watch a video
of your car running into the front of a wall.
We just shot it this morning.
- I love it.
I assume it's probably not safe by today's standards.
- But we're going off of 2006.
- So maybe it's fine.
- Ooh.
- Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, airbags deployed.
- I think that's pretty good.
- I think so too. That looks nice.
- That looks really good.
- Minimal kind of damage to the passenger compartment.
The airbag deployed, the head is being supported
as we'll see right there.
- Great seatbelt. - Yeah, good seatbelt.
- Seatbelt. The roof.
- Roof is good. It didn't crumple or anything.
The back end looks good.
- I'm saying 9, probably, potentially 10.
- If you got a 10, that just changes the game.
- [Nolan] That'd be pretty cool.
- We haven't got a 10 yet.
- You would the safest car though.
- You'd have the safest car.
- Double down, double down.
- Id say 10. That's a 10 outta 10.
- 10 outta 10. Let's go.
- [James And Jeremiah] Let's go.
- Come on NHTSA, give us a 10 baby.
- [Crewmember] The 2005 Ford Mustang
scored five driver and five passenger.
- Safest car at donut.
America.
- That's amazing, that's awesome.
- The old pony car. Subpar schnitzel.
- S197 Mustang, top of the pack.
Cadillac of the sky.
- That goes on the bottom. This is the best. Remember?
- Whoops.
(laughing)
- I'm gonna go crash my car.
- Before we go any further.
I want to talk to you guys about something that we're really
excited about here at Donut.
We're launching a car collectible
and it's called Stocky.
A while ago, we did a Kickstarter
and it was really successful.
These guys are ready to ship
and we're gonna open up sales again for a limited time.
We have two brand new versions of Stocky,
low car and real time racing.
If you watch speed channel in the early 2000s like I did,
you definitely recognize the real time racing.
Integra's super, super cool.
These are officially licensed from Acura.
I'm really, really stoked about these.
I think it's like a big deal for us,
and I'm really stoked that you guys can be part of it.
So click this link, get yourself a Stocky.
Eventually we're gonna make all your favorite cars.
Let me know in the comments, which ones you want us to make.
All right, we have one more car left.
It's near and dear to our hearts.
- That was wild man.
- We just bought one.
I'm very excited to drive this car all summer.
The mark three,
that's the third generation Volkswagen Cabrio.
AKA the newest member of the donut fleet.
Can we get a picture of Leonardo the Cabrio.
- Look at that beauty.
- James, this is a, a corkscrew..
- I see it.
This is the first one that there's a ramp, okay,
and that's because this is a rollover test.
- [Crewmember] This test was not done by NHTSA,
it was actually done by a Swiss company in 2016.
They crashed five Volkswagen Cabrios using this corkscrew.
- Why?
- Was this for like a lawsuit? I bet.
- Must have been.
- Probably a legal thing.
- 'Cause why else would you do that?
Besides having a lot of fun.
- [Crewmember] So this isn't gonna be ranked
the exact same as a NHTSA,
but really you're gonna just be seeing
if you're walking away from this accident or not.
- If you live or die.
- Let's see.
- I bet it's gonna be safe.
- Oh, I don't know.
- Dude.
- For flipping or convertible, not bad.
- That that looks so scary.
- Dude that's hard.
- Yeah, here we go.
- Lets see that roll bar. Roll bar works?
- Skids dude.
- Roll bar worked great.
- Wow. What about that front?
- I mean, given that's what they were supposed to do.
- Huh?
- Oh, arm out.
- Oo, oo, oo.
- That's user error.
(laughing)
- Oh no, the boys.
Oh, you're face graved on the-
Oh, that's your head.
- All right. So it's live or die in that?
- [Crewmember] I don't really have the score.
You guys just saw it for yourselves and how it did.
- Okay. I think I'm fine.
- I'm definitely fine.
- Yeah. I'm okay.
- I'm dead. I don't think I would've walked out that one.
- I am surprised how, dude they were going.
- They were whipping. They hooked that, bro.
The windshield did fold quite a bit.
- It folded quite a bit.
- Quite a bit.
It almost flattened completely. I think you're dead.
Honestly, our moms have a lot to be worried about.
(chuckling)
Thank you guys so much for watching this video
and every other video on Donut.
If you're new to the channel, welcome.
