I'm only worried about dumbasses who think they can drink and drive home save.

But will it blend?

#1 is totaly wrong. if you have two identical cars, driving the same speed. hitting each other cleanly head on, its almost the same as one car hitting a wall at the same speed. this has to do with the compression of the materials.
if you have two cars, both cars will compress and deflect the force of the crash by bending the materials. if you have one car and a wall. only the car will compress and will take all the force of the crash.

so... am I REALLY the only one here thinking that's a waste of rims on the back tires?? (you'll notice they swapped the front rims for the actual crash)

#14 you mean quadratic, not exponential (that would be terrifying indeed).
The energy argument is ok in this case (in one case, each car brings 1/2 mv^2, but it must also destroy both of the cars, and in the other car, you only have 1/2 mv^2, but you spend it on only one car). This however is completely wrong if after the crash the wreckage is still moving.

I heard the echo of the impact in my city, 2 days after the bang!

I think it same force impact if both cars same model, same speed are clean impact to each other. like pendelum if both hold on same distance then released after that, the distance of bouncing ball between the point of impact is half of the one ball strike on steady ball on same set; a little difference may be because of gravity. Youtube do have experiment on that to be clear to me?...

Well, wether or not the crash test dummies survived, the invincible GoPro did!

At 4:34 I see an airbag... those things flap out super fast, but pretty useless at this car speed.
