anything is a death trap at the speed he must have been going to do that. however a big heavy car that cant go over 65, and doesnt have a 19 year old inexperianced driver in it… now thats a safe car. ---

lol… old boats of the pre-plastic car age were made to stay intact on impact… this is bad for occupants… good for repairs. Car companies and insurance companies realized it was cheaper to fix cars then people… thus changing the manufacturing process… and of course the materials on the vehicle. Plastic is there to take the damage… and either get completelt crunched… or move the energy to a less vital part of the car… like the front end… instead of the cabin. ---

> [@Daddie](#): > > That’s a complete myth… I disagree… a vehicle with more mass is less likely to move for other objects (more or less, will destroy other things before destroying itself) with all other variables being the same. Not to mention, with smaller interior space, is easier to get pinched/trapped than with a roomier car. now I cant say all accidents are the same, because their not… but rearended in my old Thunderbird (lady hit me doing around 70mph while I was at a dead stop) the backend got moved over and crushed pretty bad. My passenger and I were fine for the most part (minus whiplash and cuts/bruises) on the other hand, last year a good friend of mines girlfriend was rearended in her honda civic on Rt. 5, dude hit her doing about 55 mph (and she was moving too). ANYONE who would have been in the back of that car would of been dead. The trunk lid was honestly sitting behind the drivers seat. Her legs were pinched between the stearing wheel and dashboard and needed to get cut from her car. Like I said though, not every accident is the same so thats really not a good argument but I’ll still take my bigger cars over economy cars. Would you rather hit a tree driving a crown victoria or a Geo Metro? lol ---

The Neon is hardly the safety force to be reckon with. It’s unfortunate for the people in the car. Sadly now isn’t the time to go “Gosh, the WRX is actually safe in tests, maybe I should have bought it instead. Oh but winning races in parking lots really does matter more than my well-being.” ---

I would also prefer a large car … unless it was on top of me… then I’d take a moped. ---
