What does this represent? I see towing capacity on the side. Is that the point where the rear crumbles?

As far as I could see:

The Dodge Dakota was hooked by cable up to a representation of its tow capacity -- the weight of which was illustrated by its crunched up rivals....

I don't think it was a functional, or logical display. Obviously the weight would be the same whether it was higher or lower.

Sort of like some engine dyno test display that was there. Every now and then the demo of the engine dyno test would be run- making all kinds of powerful noise. I asked the girl, "Has the engine ever failed the test ?" and she said -- "no it is just a demo so it can't fail the test ..."

That got me laughing a little. I like the idea of crushed rivals. I'd say it's more of a statement than a true representation.

No Jaguar? I love the look of the new XK8, although it kinda just looks like an AM. Oh well, still my favorite.

Looks like fun, but you guys woke up way to early for me to catch that. Didn't even read the post till noon.
