Nah, typical over-engineered Audi. From the sales blurb:

>anti-lock brakes (ABS)
>electronic stability program (ESP)
>electronic brake force distribution (EBD) >electronic differential lock (EDL)
>traction control (ASR)
>seat-mounted head and chest side airbags >next-generation dual front airbags
>three-point safety belts with pretensioners and load limiters.

I drive a tank that is far better at driving than I am.

You can't get in a fox body and shut the doors without being reminded it's a tin can. They actually fare pretty okay in most real world crashes though, probably because the engine's so far forward but I always fucking think about pic related where the car broke in half and the front seats got pulled out of the passenger compartment. Nightmare fuel.

My truck has some weakness in small overlap crashes but even if I do happen to hit something tall enough and heavy enough not to just obliterate I'll only get a broken clutch leg. Pickup doors WILL come open in serious accidents though so I wear my seatbelt for any driving outside town.

No, I bought an 86 and it has 5 star crash rating because it was made by amazing engineers.

>>17401513
Nope. All airbags removed for weight reduction. The only safety precautions I've taken is to replace the stock shitty Toyota OEM seats with some Recaro bucket seats and a 5 point harness over the 3 point seat belt that comes with the SW20.

I'm already driving one of the "most dangerous cars around" according to normies. The danger makes it fun.

no, even though my car is from the 80s, it's still an over-engineered mercedes. i don't drive too fast anyways.

the only car i've totaled (zero fault) had the airbags fail during the accident, which was around 45mph head on and I was fine. not really too concerned about the mercedes, except maybe a full-speed side impact considering no real modern protection there... but a rare accident, so

I can't say I feel very safe in it. Luckily, since the PT Cruiser is considered an old person car, people usually give me plenty of space.


In my old Town Car, I felt super safe, wrapped in what felt like 3 tons of pure 'Murica, and rightly so. I was hit by a Mustang at about 65mph and it flipped 3 times and landed on the roof. I crawled out of the (broken) windshield with nothing more than a few bruises and a broken nose. The Mustang driver was dead on impact, and his car basically burned to a crisp before the amberlamps even arrived.
I miss that car... going to buy another one soon, probably a Grand Marquis this time.
