How much stock do you put into IIHS crash test ratings when buying a car?
Is there a different safety rating system that is more accurate?
>implying a board where everyone drives 1980's shitboxes knows anything about vehicle safety
>safety doesn't matter, just don't get hit :^)

No 65 f250 with a 300 and the twin I beam.
What engine you running? I am going to 351w swap at some point though.

Lucky, my unibody is a bitch to find parts for. Sticking with the 292 and 3 speed.

Mine started with a t19 then the owner swapped to a c6. I'm sticking with a sbf so I don't have to change trannies yet.

Everyone report kit kat, he has the stolen truck. It doesn't have sidesteps.

4+ stars only
once you've been in a wreck bad enough to hurt yourselves you'll grow up Veeky Forums
if I owned a weekend car I would not care as much but for a DD there are too many idiots on the rodas

U wot. It only has one step on the driver side. The passenger side has a toolbox

You'll never get into Valhalla with all those airbags keeping you alive.

In a crash, the bigger vehicle wins
Let's just say I'm way more fucking cautious when I'm in the Fox than when I'm in the Ram despite them receiving similar safety ratings.

I bet that test could destroy a tank.

Half of the inside of my knee is scar tissue because of a wreck. Also had internal organ damage(four lacerations on my liver).
Still don't give a shit about safety features

They conduct their speed tests at 45MPH, so you'd have to redline an M1 Abram to come close to replicating their evaluation.

literally none.

It depends, that's really the only answer. I can't get on a bike over 650cc because I'm retarded and know I'll try gunning it, or the fact that I drive like a fucking moron, and kill myself. Honestly, at least on a bike I'll be paying a bit more attention to the road, but other drivers are so shit here it honestly doesn't tickle my fancy.
Anyway, safety is somewhat important to me. I require ABS, seat belts, and airbags. When I test drive a vehicle, I slam the brakes from 40 on a secluded road at least once. Side airbags are optional for me, but a great idea for most vehicles. Otherwise, unless you feel like you might get slammed or slam into something at over 100mph, or feel like there's a risk of rolling off a cliff, the safety differences of most modern sedans are going to be similar, SUVs will be somewhat similar, and vans will be somewhat similar. Side and front airbags, seat belts, abs, and in some cases collision detection. Drive a larger vehicle if you feel like safety is more of a major issue.
