Wonderful, with the help of McLaurin, you found that
the total kinetic energy is frame dependent, which is
false, as when the cars collide, you get only *one*
solution, i.e. (m1v1^2 + m2v2^2)/2.
You have perhaps some notions of SR, but your SR brainwashing
inhibits any sense of physical reality. Iow, you are a
true crackpot.
