Through the front of my head. When you crash cars designed like this at high speeds, the steering column smashes into your face, crushing your skull. My sister had this awesome book of accidents when I was young. Horrifying.

Oh yah it’s very gnar. She owned some old style car like that for a while, and loved it but was terrified of getting into a crash, so she sold it hahaha
