Have a little think about it, do you think colliding with just any stationary object at 100km/h would write off you car? like say colliding with a tissue box?

You are confusing the case for where a the car collides with an immovable object such as a concrete wall.
So you're saying that the forces are the same? So in a head on with both cars travelling at 50kph where does the extra 50 kph come from? Your body won't go from 100-0 like they would by hitting a stationary object (movable or immovable) while traveling 100kph.
