>hurr durr don't crash
nigga the fuck if you're just leaving a store and some bitch t-bones you in the parking lot because you couldn't see her escalade in your "sports car"s blindspot

accidents are not always your fault retards

>muh safety
this isn't tumblr you woman. like I give a fuck about dying in a crash.

Thank you for supporting Darwinism

again, this isn't your blog, cunt.

Just stfu pussy faggot and gtfo

...

but i want to die

I don't even know the safety rating of my mr2 spyder (pic related) but it doesn't seem like it would take a hit from a truck well.

>thinks his 2016 japanese coupe will protect him from a drivers side impact by an escalade

>Drunk driver hits your 20yo shitbox and you die

Nigger having seen the door hinges on my soarer, i feel perfectly safe driving around in my 1991 turbo beast

Is this cone bowling or autox?

I was under the impression that the people who chanted "MY STEEL TANK WILL DESTROY THESE MODERN PLASTIC LUNCHBOXES" were all dead or in old folk's homes by now

>being scared of dying in a car crash
Get a load of this faggot

you can get a 5 year old Accord for under $10k these days and they're very safe, efficient, and reliable

Thank god my car is a 2016 IIHS top safety pick

I intend to drive my pushrod V8-powered tanks until I die behind the wheel of one in a glorious wreck of mangled steel and glistening chrome.

>still wanting to survive a crash
user bls

>small overlap

And I shall witness you

Still, you dont pretend that you'd be safer in that old metal suitcase than in a 2016 Camry or similar - there is the difference

True, though in the event of a minor impact; say, a woman backing into my bumper in a parking lot, my car has destroyed a newer car. I'd be dead in a serious impact, but in the event of a fender tap, my car will be fine.

Fun fact: my car is so durable, it's banned from most demolition derbies.

what is this?

>b-but muh safety
Feminist detected

This is why we have shit cars that look like bar soaps and shit visibility. You're the cancer

That's literally a brand new Nissan

He's on your side, learn to read posts retard

Everyone is going to die anyway.

I'd rather die driving my old shitbox than of old age or cancer or some shit.

Besides I had a 1992 Sentra and I loved beating the shit on it. Never gave up no matter what I threw at it.

remember how everyone died in the 90s because cars were so unsafe?

1966 Imperial Crown Sedan; from when Imperial was a separate make from Chrysler.

What does safety have to do with feminism?

fatalities have halved since the 90s

>With a 50% overlap and a combined closing speed of 80 mph (129 km/h) the test highlights the significant differences in safety standards between these two baseline models sold by the same manufacturer in different markets.
>With a 50% overlap
>50% overlap

Maybe you should read articles and video descriptions before commenting.

He's suggesting that a new car is safer than an old one in accidents you can't avoid then using an accident that will be fatal either way as an example. Learn to read threads.

and?

This is how I imagine every single S13 crash ending.

clearIy making cars safer is helping

you know, it wouldn't surprise me if old unsafe shitboxes were part of the reason why death rates are higher for younger people.

>why are people on Veeky Forums willing to drive vehicles where the only safety feature is "dont crash"?

I wouldnt pretend I'm safe in a 2016 Camry, either.

...

>20 years of safety progress
>2015 vs 2016

Yes yes, old cars are unsafe. Buy something new today. Oh wait, tomorrow. Hold on, next week.

Are roll cages legal in the US? I might settle there if they are.

>stiffen your 90's japanese sport car
>add a roll cage
>drive around with a helmet
>witness the other cars get crushed in case of a crash

>one hasn't been updated for 25 years and is still being produced

I'd rather have the Tsuru, I like the styling better.

Also, anyone ever go on a spree watching crash test videos?

Autox. The middle cone is a pointer, they had a turn before and they didn't want dumb people going around.

>i cant read the article because i am too retarded edition of the you shouldnt be posting if youre this dumb show

But I ride a motorcycle?

Some of us don't treat their meager lives like some invaluable commodity. Once it's over, it doesn't matter because you're dead.

>inb4 he fell for the "having a family" meme

take your r9k shit off of this board

Get your facebook shit off my site scrub

None of this matters, cars will drive themselves in our lifetime anyway, completely eliminating crashes.

>not buying a 2017 model
>neither of those cars have airbags
"""""new""""" cars

whats wrong with that guy's face?

Sure, in most states anyway. Not sure about some of the nanny states with annual inspections, but that's the minority of the country iirc anyway.

One is a car with airbags, abs, and other modern safety features, the other is a 3rd world shitbox designed to be as cheap as possible at the expense of driver safety for 3rd world customers.

Said 3rd world shitbox is literally a 1990s design.

you're implying that i don't want to die instantly if im in such a crash

Everyone dies user. Doesn't really matter how or when you go. Living your life in fear of it doesn't sound very pleasant.

>pay $50000 for 2016 Hyundai Tucson
>don't crash
>$40000 down the drain

Well I prefer walking away without any scratch thanks to my Volvo V40

I really don't want anything currently made, except maybe the BRZ and even then for the money I would spend on one I could get a skyline gtr or an M3 or the nicest land cruiser you've ever seen

Literally the only people that buy new are retards, old people and soccer moms

t. poorfag

>let's drink, smoke, eat enormous quantities, not exercise, not sleep at least 6 h/week, drink/eat carcinogenic substances, jaywalk and any other easily avoidable activity because "everyone dies user"

Might as well commit suicide right the fuck now since I shall die anyway.

>I'm so rich because I spend 95% of my mcwage on my 2017 Hyundai Accent payment

Sounds like you have a boring life user, have you thought about just killing yourself now?

>better live my entire life as a monk eating kale and water for every meal since it staeves off death for another few days and I'm scared of everything

Care to counter what I said or you're just shitposting?
In case it went over your head, the point here is that defending driving a car that will kill you in a crash with the fact human life is finite makes little to no sense.

How about this for an argument

Safety devices weigh literally hundreds if not thousands of pounds and cause a serious reduction in performance, driving pleasure and comfort at zero benefit 99.9% of the time

I might add that in my original post I forgot a key word
>[...] and any other easily avoidable -dangerous- activity

Dangerous here, for a lack of a better word, is an activity that has been documented and well known for seriously jeopardising your life.
Don't act as if I'm some sort of crude puritan because that would be irrelevant to the discussion, inane and off topic.

Driving is one of the most dangerous things you can possibly do, if you're so terrified of dying in a car crash that you're willing to degrade yourself by driving safe little cubes, just take the far, far safer buses or trains instead

>serious reduction in performance
You act as if handling doesn't get better and power output doesn't increase.
I'm not the sure the 2017 Civic Type R, the Focus RS500, the 308 GTI, the GT86 are any slower than 1999 Civic Type R, the Escort RS Cosworth, the 205 GTI, or the AE86
(irony)

>driving pleasure
This bit I cannot say since it's 100% subjective.

>zero benefit 99.9% of the time
General assumption pulled out of thin air, irrelevant.

>some of us wouldn't want to literally be caught dead in an old car.

New cars phone home what you do. There's just too much big brother coming in the future when the databases finally get enough data in them to predict what kind of person you are.

archive.4plebs.org/o/thread/15765825#p15765825

Sooner or later, the insurance companies will tap into that data and automatically adjust your rates based upon how you new car has measured you.

Actually relative performance is roughly the same and would be for better if they weren't weighed down with thousands of pounds of airbags

As for the 99.9% comment, a crash takes seconds, whereas you'll be driving crash free for tens, of not thousands of hours at a time, so it's probably even more than 99.9% dead weight

>posts link to a thread about black box insurance, which has nothing to do with new cars

>Driving is one of the most dangerous things you can possibly do
Considering the number of people dying from tobacco-related cancer in developed countries you're totally wrong.

>if you're so terrified of dying in a car crash
I'm not terrified of dying in car crash. Never said nor implied such a thing.

>you're willing to degrade yourself by driving safe little cubes
Never said nor implied such a thing.

>what is on star
>what is on board wifi

>this thing is dangerous so nothing else is
>argue for ultra mega safe cars, but can't actually afford one, cry int the back of your Volvo 240 instead

And that 0.01% of the time is almost certain death without them.

There's talk among my state legislators about getting rid of our state's emission testing now that most cars on the road have the ability to automatically send the emission data to databases. Instead of forcing cars to visit emission test centers, the state would simply tap the databases.

The car manufacturer lobbyists are fighting it since they want to set a higher price for selling the emissions data, mileage, and current odometer reading to the State. They'll come to agreement sooner or later, then the need to drive cars to emission test stations will end. I look forward to that.

So must wear a crash helmet all the time as well then? I mean most of the time you're walking fine but it's only one trip away from massive brain damage without one

The fuck do I know what's wrong with my face. Poor picture angle, looking at exit point for turn, being mouth breather, generally poor genetics including slav, etc

>actually wanting more surveillance if your life

Automated emissions tests is only a small leap from constant voice monitoring for dissent. Demolition man is a real possibility

>call obongo a nigger in your car
>automatically fined for hate speech to your cashless back account

Maybe you should, but for everyone else there's a balance of utility. A car that saves a few hundred pounds and $1000-2000 in safety features doesn't reduce the utility of an automobile significantly enough to risk my life.

>$1000-2000

Top kek, try tens of thousands of dollars, plus more fuel use lugging around all that extra weight, reduced visibility, smaller cargo space etc etc

Its a losing game which is only going to get worse and worse with time, it won't be long until a compact is 38ft long and weighs 7900lbs while having a smaller interior than a Fiat Uno

Here is your reply.

BTFO

> buy Volvo for safety rating
> decide I'd rather break my legs in a jeep than pay to repair the fucking POS

>I don't know what crumple zones are for
Sure the truck might be fine but you sure as fuck won't be.

Why don't you just kill yourself now? I mean why waste your time when "we all die eventually what's even the point ayy lmao"

Bunch of weak arguments in this thread from obvious college aged poorfags trying to sound edgy on a Mongolian sock puppet board.

>crumple zones
>5mph tap becomes write off

>relative performance is roughly the same
Pic related.

>As for the 99.9% comment, a crash takes seconds, whereas you'll be driving crash free for tens, of not thousands of hours at a time, so it's probably even more than 99.9% dead weight

I'm not sure I've understood.
Are you saying because you only get to crash not so often then it means safety equipment in vehicles are useless?
