Smart car

[cjjtulsa]

I love the small car vs. dump trucks/tractor-trailers pics with the requisite "see, they're too dangerous" remarks. Take a look at the front wheel/axle of that tractor, and tell me you'd walk away from a head-on with that rig, at a speed that provides enough inertia to shove the axle back (whether it "submarines" or not), even in an F150. A head-on crash with a semi is a head-on with a semi, regardless if you're driving a Smart car or a Tahoe. You're going to get the sh*t end of the stick.

That might be true but at least in an F-150, they will still find my body in there to return to my family, smart car would be like I went through a meat grinder. All jokes aside, if someone like a smart car then more power to them. I personally don't like them and nobody in my family will drive one if I have a say so, definitely not my wife and kids.

Harley Davidson, safer than a Smart car.

i completely agree, though only because they are less reliable and spend more time sitting in the garage or at a bar without the owner on them...lol

I don't want one myself, but regardless of body condition, dead is dead.

The dump truck example is WAAYYY over exploited. Per Snopes, the middle vehicle is a FORD ESCAPE SUV.
