How safe is your car Veeky Forums?

This. I die like a man!

>he drives at 120 mph everywhere

what a cool dude

I've owned 3 cars.
Volvo
SAAB
SAAB
Next might be a Volvo again if not for a third SAAB.

IMO, steering wheel airbags are all you need.

other than that, just make cars longer in the front and back again and crashes will be fine :^)

safety foam when?

I still wish something like this was a real thing to save people when they crash into a deep body of water but it probably won't be cost effective to do considering it probably doesn't happen in much and it's just unnecessary weight if you live in a desert

>wreck car
>be clean and fresh

mine is a super sport motorcycle and my gear is boardshorts and flipflops

>get rekt
>choke on foam and die

>tfw all your fancy scandi safety technology is negated by a fat fucking steel frame

I almost want to ram into some cuck driving a Fiesta so I can smear them across the road.

Mine has a Gen 1 SRS in the steering wheel. I wonder if it would still work.

It'll probably kill you.

You know the old trope that "airbags take more lives than they save!"? It came from the really old airbags, that were just as likely to blind you/smash your jaw and teeth in/break your neck as they were to save you.

Besides, the sodium azide is likely so unstable at this point it'll just go off one day while you're munching on some tendies and blast one of those fuckers right through your brain at 300mph.

>sitting close enough to the wheel for the airbag to touch you at a stop
manlet detected

It's called driving a vehicle with a gigantic blindspot and no telescopic steering.

True Chads wouldn't even drive vehicles with airbags, they'd ride motorcycles.

So what you're saying is that it's probably still active?

Probably, because there's only a few ways for sodium to break down/become intert and they aren't likely to be present inside your steering wheel.

Sodium azide is susceptible to shock/increase in temperature. In steering wheels the containment vessels are specifically designed to eliminate as much of this exposure as possible, to keep the mixture stable. But in a crusty old Caddy I'm sure the 30+ year old GM -tier plastics have broken down and you're basically steering with a claymore mine.

Fuckin rad dude.

Welp looks like we need suicidal anons to check it out

>Honda Odyssey
I once came across someone who was shot death in one.

fake news.

Dual Front Airbags With Head Protection Chambers
Side-Mounted Airbags
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
Front Seatbelt Pretensioners
High Pressure Headlight Washers
Self-Leveling Headlights
Stability Control
Traction Control
Xenon High Intensity Discharge Headlamp
4-Wheel ABS
Front And Rear Ventilated Disc Brakes

Typical over-engineered Audi.

Maybe you should scrap that piece of shit before you kill somebody else.

I am eventually going to meet an early death, as I drive like an absolute madman, no matter the weather.

>Bay Area automaker Tesla was not tested.
kek but we know at least one guy died in one
fucking fake news

Feels good not being poor. How can you faggots live like this? Get some skills, earn some money, and stop risking your life to get around town.

u might not be tho

I know I said I would drive it until it dies but it'll probably kill me first

built in ejector seats standard on all trim packages

I will keep it as long as I can because it really has no value and it's the longest I've had a car and it's my first.

>I know I said I would drive it until it dies but it'll probably kill me first
hmmm never thought about it that way

>Willingly voiding your insurance

Feels good not being dumb

My last car before current one was a 2006 Corolla.

It was my baby with Prius alloy wheels. I miss it, but only a little bit.

>tfw was unironically going to buy a smashed up Rio
glad i didn't. it was a 2012 for $700 so it was very enticing

>5 stars

Lol.

Try Good good in frontal and marginal in side impact.

>no parking
the absolute madman

Mine's a saab so I assume it's pretty safe

Ive been in a 80km/h head on crash in the same car i have now and didnt get hurt at all beyond some whiplash

What car is that? looks comfy

that test was at 5 mph though

One of these, this is my friends not his.

this, here's what a toyota yaris looked like in the same exact test.

liberals will defend this.

>Subaru Legacy is on the lowest rates list

Aww yeah.

>>bad vibration from driveshaft
I WANNA DANCE

I'm just gonna fix all the shit that's broken cause its Muh Jeep

Got driver and front passenger bags and some seat belts.

As safe as a Mustang.

120 is approximately equal to two cars at 60mph in a head-to-head collision, which isn't far off from reality.

>120 is approximately equal to two cars at 60mph in a head-to-head collision,

Nope, lrn2physics.

>Early 90s chassis design
>Small, light and with skinny tyres
>No ABS, ESP etc.
It does have a driver's Airbag I guess

>airbags
>no abs
>no roll cage
>no cage at all
>no seat belts
>no crumple zones

I'll be fine!

>no crumple zones
>dent in exhaust can

in a crash you are immediately ejected from the vehicle wearing a bunch of safety gear engineered to ensure you slide instead of tumbling and hope you don't hit anything before scrubbing off most of your speed.

if you crash a shitbox you are trapped inside something that tumbles and crumples until you are impaled and diced to bits by broken metal.

we are 36 times more likely to die in a crash than in a car you retard.

that being said he rides an underpowered land barge.

that's because sliding only works when you don't hit something and us carfags demanded the roads be lined with tiny concrete walls and sturdy posts in order to better stop our cars before they tumble and crumple

sorry about that

Mine is older than that one, but yes.

based swede bunker

Based swede bunker also

When do you fucking crash 60mph head to head

I have one airbag and half working ABS. Thanks 1992 Honda Accord

mine only has an american rating and it's 4 out of 5 stars which is pretty fuckin vague.

wrong

>an underpowered land barge.
Rude!

She has adequate power.

That's not a crumple zone, as my legs stick out more than the exhaust.

That's my personal safety gear, not the safety equipment of my vehicle.

All of my cars are old death traps. I look forward to dying behind the wheel in a mass of twisted chrome.

i'm 6'6 and only just fit in my car, so no matter the safety rating i'm gonna have a bad time.

>WORLD IS A FUCK

How safe is a 95 Escort? I really don't know.

>buying your wife a brand new car

paypig cuck

I'm on my third LeSabre. The last two were in pretty bad accidents which were not my fault and I got away unscathed from both.

lesabres are p. underrated

Is the GX yours?

The claymore airbags have been replaced and I have the optional side airbags. Not totally fucked, just cucked.

Brainlet here, whynot?

Make sure you use condoms

My 69 bug would smash like a tin can if I get side swiped. The only thing keeping anyone inside alive are the bucket seats and harness from 1995. Sometimes during high speeds the wheel bearings will wiggle and I have to countersteer like a drunk driver. It's unique though

>Yaris then
>Yaris NOW

What happened?

A lot happened since the cute little mouse Yaris.

2 cars with roughly the same mass crashing head-on at 60 mp/h equals one car hitting a steel wall at 60 mp/h.

I don't fault you, Mythbusters also made the same mistake.

holy fuck, how much did you get it for?

that's like, one of the most unreliable cars of all time.

yes

probably has aids at 22 years old
