Topless, I totally agree and was about to answer Bobian about the windshield frame when I read your post. The windshield frame is the most structurally sound part of the car.

I talked a taxi driver while flying down the Autobahn in Germany and talked about cars. He said American cars are built around 75 MPH...brakes, structure, engine, suspension. German cars are built for the Autobahn, the unlimited speeds of the Autobahn require everything to be strong and last. That's why I feel safe in my Boxster when I'm getting on it. I remember seeing a picture of a Boxster that drove off of a 100 foot gavel pit cliff and it looked like you could get in and drive it home. Turns out a kid took daddy's car for a ride and wanted to show off.
