If you want safety why are you driving at all?

Yep, here come all the triggered poorfags feeling unsettled as they watch a 90s shitbox like theirs crumple. Truth is, they secretly wish they had something built in the 21st century, but they're just too poor or have too abysmal credit to afford any better.

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.

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.

http://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.

>>16103464
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

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.

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.

Don't act like I'm some sort of clueless kid. I'm not the one advocating the removal of every safety device and equipment in every single car because
>MOST CARS DON'T CRASH
on 4chan.

I think it seems that the word, the "idea" you have behind the word "most" effectively excludes "you" of a possible crash. The thing is statistics do not work like that and, in case of a crash the very fact that your car doesn't not have (or has minimal) any security device/equipment/measure is likely to cause your death.

This will be my last response.

>>16103557
My life is worth more than that.

>>16103717
Response or not, I have been in a crash, in a pos bow from 1985 and... the Kia that hit me resulting in a broken arm, while my glasses were knocked off and I had a sore knee for a couple day. She hit me at about 40mph too, and both cars went to the snappy.

However according to you, I died instantly since airbags and crumple zones are the only thing that matters and old cars are instant death in any crash

>>16103743
