Been having this discussion with Jennifer lately. Right now she drives a boat, a Toyota van, and would like something smaller but doesn't want to risk her daughter's in a smaller vehicle. Been frying to convince her that larger does not necessarily mean safer.Niceguy wrote:More weight also means more momentum. I don't think small cars are always more unsafe than larger cars. I think vehicle choice is more important than size in most cases, Definetly not all though. Plenty of large vehicles have terrible safety ratings, plenty of small vehicles have great ones and vise versa.
Now having owned one, I say an FJ80 Land Cruiser would be ultimate first vehicle. Big, slow as hell, GREAT visibility, fulltime all wheel drive, pretty bulletproof ride. Throw on some heavy duty bumpers and it's just short of a tank.
Frying her doesn't sound very safe either...haharustynuts wrote:Been having this discussion with Jennifer lately.

I look at the consumer reports safety info on vehicles I have an inclination to buy as well. good data most times.
Yep and drove used vehicle prices sky high. He was a fuck tard but also i think he did that shit on purpose. Maybe im just cynical but i do still believe a lot of what he did was to intentionally harm the US and keep him and his cronies rich and powerful.Niceguy wrote:Put LOTS of used car lots and salvage yards out of business... Salvage yards are few and far between now days.
I agree it was on purpose, but him, nope. Too stupid. He was just their puppet.Rem700 wrote:Yep and drove used vehicle prices sky high.

It’s mind boggling to me that some people still don’t wear a seatbelt.Mike wrote:If there is one thing I’ve learned about car wrecks over the last 16 years, the car will protect you in most situations IF you have your seatbelt on. I’ve seen people die from really silly little wrecks but because they couldn’t keep themselves behind the wheel they get tossed(or even worse, partially ejected) and usually crushed by the vehicle.
I’ve seen wrecks that make you cringe when you walk up to them and then the drivers walk over to you without a mark on them.
I agree so much. It would be 1% ok for someone to tell me it made them uncomfortable and they went on some constraining way but they don't and aren't even noticable so not wearing one makes you a dipshit. Especially when people have children. Someone else depends on you and you are just out here texting and driving with no signals or seatbelts pressing your luck.1fastmach1 wrote:It’s mind boggling to me that some people still don’t wear a seatbelt.Mike wrote:If there is one thing I’ve learned about car wrecks over the last 16 years, the car will protect you in most situations IF you have your seatbelt on.

Know a guy that refuses to wear a seat belt because, and he will loudly tell you this over and over, that it is much safer to be throw from a car in an accident.1fastmach1 wrote:It’s mind boggling to me that some people still don’t wear a seatbelt.Mike wrote:If there is one thing I’ve learned about car wrecks over the last 16 years, the car will protect you in most situations IF you have your seatbelt on.
