I had a conversation with a dolt that attempted to tell me that the mirror image crash caused 130mph worth of damage to both vehicles. And yes I know the language is not precise. Feel free to correct me, I would like to know the correct terms. I golf with a physics prof on occasion.

I have a question and I would like some help. Assuming mirror image vehicles hitting at 65mph. Is the force exacted on each vehicle equal to 130mph or 65 mph. My assumption is that it would be the same as hitting an inelastic brick wall.. Thank ya'll in advance..
