Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

I think we all have to agree that for the most part with the most common accidents, sure, we are safer in the newer vehicles.
In low speed impacts, I would rather be in my old cars. Neither of us will be that bad off. I was in a couple with my 72 Monaco Station Wagon, front and rear impacts. Nothing very visible in either case, never bothered to take out the scratches. And yes, I drove that car way too fast. :D
My Duster feels like a tin can compared to that car and I hope to never be in an accident with it again, I am glad we both survived my teenage years.

In anything high speed I want to be in my 08 Suburban. Yes my 93 CTD 4x4 with lots of trail armor would survive best of anything I have, but the 08 would fold where needed yet it still has enough mass to protect me. In some cases the laws of physics must prevail that that is when Mass matters.

72 Demo Derby classic Vs. Scion = I win.
08 Suburban vs either of the above = I win.

I want a new Dodge Cummins 9 passenger 4x4 Suburban-like vehicle!!!!!

But to reply to the original thread..... Yes our /6 - A body cars are unsafe tin cans. Live with it and drive accordingly.

The most important aspect of "safe vs. unsafe" is in your own head.
