Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I don't believe in driving really old cars. I've had 2 not-at-fault accidents in 8 years, the most recent one last week when some nut-job blew through a stop sign and hit me mid-ships at full tilt, stolen car and all.
The cop said "you took a real hit", and I said you should have seen it the last time. Both times the body shop said 10 years ago not many would have walked away from this impact, but cars are much better now. The cars get totaled, but you go on living, often with relatively minor injuries.
I am not impoverished, so since I respect myself and whoever may be riding with me, I feel I should invest in safety. Luckily there was no one with me this time, as the impact was passenger side.
Additionally, air bag technology has become so much better. Even a small car like mine was, today will have frontal, side, side curtain, rear seat, etc. bags. Side curtain bags can spare you a head injury that might really make your life suck.
The first time I had a 4 year old Integra, this last time a 6 1/2 year old Subaru. And these cars or their replacement models are better still now.
I guess a really big old cadillac might work as well, but I could never park them or get them into my parking space.
