Показать описание
Conventional wisdom holds that tiny cars have bigger risks in a crash. Yet a Chevy Spark has the same crashworthiness rating as a 1,000-pound heavier Honda Accord Coupe -- so what's the real story behind crash safety and car size?

I just remembered a video you guys just released today which showed people are buying more smart phones then cars, that is a bad sign and you know what people are doing with these devices, besides communicating and listening to music, watching videos of those who have the nice things in life like cars and wish they could have one, come on I do this all day I am on youtube from the time I wake to the time I go to bed, the signs are there it is time for a change, I am so poor right now that I am wishing to get money for a new smart phone because this one is having trouble

Bigger is not always better but if you are involved in a crash between a very large lifted truck or a tiny smart car which would you rather be in? I would so rather be in the big truck.

The problem with safety is more you engineer a car to survive a crash, the more the prices of a vehicle goes up, when is it going to be enough, the auto makers, government, & do gooders have priced the car so far out of the common working class, a poor person can not afford to buy even a used car, which is killing sales, and making alot of people feel alienated and pissed, so when is it going to be enough, when everyone stop buying cars, I can see the french revolution is going to happen again, do you remember when the have nots felt alienated by those that have it all, the signs are there and it scares me
