Crush them all that way mine will be worth more in the end. I believe that the goal in the 70s was to get the gas hogs off the road that is when they had what is refured to as the gas crunch days. Just wait until they pass that stupid law about the 85 MPh speedometers again like an actual speedometer will stop a car from accelerating
Joan Claybrook of the NHTSA would be the one to thank for the federally-mandated 85mph (max) speedo. Part of the bill that lowered the speed limit to 55 also called for carmakers to change their speedos over to a maximum reading of 85 (with 55 highlighted) whenever they came out with a new car this was done in Jan 1977
