Dukes of Hazzard car wreck

I was at a stop light (stopped). Not war driving, but my antenna was in its usual on top location.

A Volvo whacked into me from behind at about 5 MPH I guess. The smack was enough to open up my sunroof about 2 inches. (Not the glass, but that fabric thing that you can slide back with your hand.) So I imagine the car was accelerated forward quite quickly for a fraction of a sec.

My mag-mount antenna didn't budge a millimeter.

If it can stand a quick jolt like that, I bet the thing would have over 100 MPH speed rating. And them Dukes could probably do all those jumps and stuff, too.
