Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

Yeah they always show "head on" crashes. Like I said, I want to see a Chrysler Newport or a 1955 Cadillac T-Bone one of these new cars. Let's see how good those "crumple zones" fair. A damned airbag ain't gonna save you from 5-6,000lbs of steel smashing into you unless it's head on.

It blows my mind that people think these pieces of plastic are gonna save them when they rear-end me at 50 MPH...

Most accidents are rear-endings out here...Yeah these new cars may be better when they hit things going 70MPH. I don't drive 70MPH, in fact I barely crack 60....Plus I have a 3 point restraint seatbelt. I might get a concussion from an accident at 60MPH, but I'm not snapping my neck!

You cant go by what you see externally. Our old cars are built tougher on the outside made of thicker metal and steel. Behind all that tin and plastic on a new car is a strong reinforced frame and structure of the car.
