Weak cars? Just cuz they do not make them outta metal like they use to. . .They are now made to crumple on purpose. What type of minivan?
Hit my 85 Crown Vic and see if you survive. You will come close to invading my passenger compartment. Hell I'll go smaller, hit my 86 T-BIRD and it will produce the same effect. SOLID. This is my you can dance and shake a newer car of great size but try get the same movement of our older led sled. You'll be wore out and with little result.
My last Crown Vic totaled a Dodge Caravan. The old full sized ones.

No,not me! (knock on wood)
Some tiburon carnage in a post from my local fourms about cheap knockoff rims ...
"Rota's don't break that easily. Having a Volk, Rays or Speedline is not going to save the wheel when you punt it into a large, dense object at a high rate of speed
One of our volks has a flat spot on it (still holds air). That would have had to been hit HARD. They have been used on race cars their entire life. They will take more abuse, that's for sure.
And I've seen one race car go rolling off the track at 170km/h and roll 3-4 times and come back on the wrecker with broken wheels, so you don't need to tell me about crashes causing broken wheels. haha It's enough to make us use stuff that's super strong, that's for sure. Note the mis-matched front wheel in the photo of the back of the car. That's so they could move the car"
