If you hit someone in a skyline or hit someone in a maxima I’m pretty sure the skyline won’t do more damage to someone else. Unless you’re talking about another passenger in the skyline then I agree with what you’re saying and I go back to what I said about it’s your own damn risk to get in the car/drive the car. ---

Eh, look at the bright side. If you try to register this and they end up crushing it into a cube, you can register it as a Scion XB and it will be damn near a perfect match. ---

Oh wait, there is no government safety rating without these laws. With the regulations put on crash tests, I KNOW that every car I step into is at least safe enough to pass a government test. Not to mention, there is also records of the crash test ratings. Without the system, there is no reliable information regarding crash test safety. The law is there to protect people from being sold junk cars. I can guarantee a lot of car companies would cut back on costs by building less safe cars and claiming they are “safe”. If the law was not there, you would be hearing a lot more about deaths in car accidents. Car crash deaths are already high enough. ---

> [@bobbyg1243](#): > > lol i was saying the ford fiesta is the same way. its will crumble under impact. I was referring to the design flaw in the Ford Pinto that Ford new about before selling the cars. This defect caused many people to burn and often die when involved in rear end collisions because there were petruding bolts in the rear differential that could penetrate the gas tank and cause fires/explosions. Ford decided that the cost of reimbursment for the potential punitive damages would be less costly than actually fixing the problem. ---

Well Ford didn’t make the tires, and I don’t think Firestone knew that it would happen either. ---

Insurance rates in Canada are WAY higher than here. Until recently, people had to register and insure the car in Canada with Canadian plates in order to drive it.
