I think the right thing for you, OP, is to keep riding the bus. It's the safest thing to do.

then get good. get your situational awareness like all of us bikers have and its easy not to crash. doesnt matter if someone else is an idiot, if you are leaving yourself an out and being vigilant.

>>17410772
You might have a point about the dying in the crash thing.

My sister got into a bad side-impact. the guy in the Van wasn't paying attention and T-boned her. she was severely injured and hospitalized. if she was in the CRX no doubt she would've been fucking dead.

Just buy an early Insight.

>>17410791
I used to say shit like this, then I watched somebody run a red and t-bone a car directly infront of me.

It doesn't matter how good you are, there is only so much you can do about other drivers.

>want one
>don't want some spic or chink to steal it/anything on it

>>17410772
Why would you think a CRX is less safe than other old shitboxes?

CRXs are notoriously unsafe. Touted as being similar to riding a motorcycle, just with a lot more stabby bits to kill you with when you're in an accident.

>>17411454
I look when I can but it isn't always possible. The accident I mentioned had trucks stopped in the #2 and #3 lanes, the car that ran the red was in the #1 lane. The car wasn't visible until it was already in the intersection.

Also a lot of the roads where I live are 45mph limited which means people are doing 55-65mph. Even if you do see somebody, there isn't a lot of time.

Maybe it is different for other people.

>>17411465
It's a wonder it's even road legal eh?
>>17411454
I do this as well. I have a paranoia that for the most part has kept me alive and out of trouble.

If it's your time to die, it's your time to die.

Those were fucking based af then Honda fucking had to fuck everyfuckingthing up by fucking copying the fucking Prius the fucking retards.

>>17411913
FUCK!

>>17410772
Don't worry, it'll get stolen before you crash it. Nignogs love to steal this car.

I do love the look of the CRX though.

A guy I work with restores these things. When I asked why he said 1800 lbs.

Never before did I think a Honda would have that level of head turning capability but that thing is anything but subtle.

almost happened to me, I had a green light and if I had not checked to the left before proceeding I would have been hit on my side by an SUV going 80+kph and probably killed.
The driver of the SUV was pretty shook after that I think, they pulled into the median area past the intersection and just sat there for a while.
Wild shit, man

>>17412086
This is exactly the reason you should never gun it right as the light turns green (not saying you did, speaking generally).

Scary world out there mang.

I drove a civic once. No respect from other drivers on the road. Cut off, flicked off. Prepare to be treated like shit on the road.

>>17410801
>both your sister and the guy in the van weren't paying attention
FTFY

>>17412248
I drive a civic too. Every time I signal that I am changing lanes, a German car or SUV speeds up and either prevents me from merging or runs up on my ass and lays on the horn. One time I was literally forced onto the shoulder by a pickup when I was trying to zipper merge off an on-ramp.

Sold my MX5 because of how unsafe it felt. Feels bad man

Makes me wonder how much it would benefit from having a roll cage fitted.

I thought about the same shit before buying my EG hatch but then I honestly got over it. My car has been on the road for like 24 years with nine previous owners and they all survived. I figure it's not worth the stress of thinking about it. I have had several close calls, though.

That was a fight I was gonna lose. One more

To anyone on /o/ that reads this

Unless your car is a complete shitbox, you are not better than your car. you go down with the ship, like a real man

>>17410772
Just buy one. CRX's are fun and safety only matters if you get hit, which isn't likely

>>17412456
Agreed. I've met a bunch of old Honda owners and none of them have been in wrecks or know any other owners that have. The internet just makes it seem more common.

>>17412456
"last famous words from crx anon :("

get it, then you get to enjoy it while youre alive. But the best part is if you get hit you die, and wont have to ever kill yourself

>>17410772
the WHOLE REASON the CRX is so fun to drive is BECAUSE IT CAN KILL YOU

>>17411465
How did they ever get made if they are that unsafe?

>>17412398
But did he die

>>17412446
eg hatch is much safer than a crx...

No comparison.

Eh not really that much safer. Can't find any official crash test videos of the CRX. Both cars are tin cans. Both of them met federal standards at the time they were released.

>>17410772
get a Veloster they are the New CRX

>>17412530
the 90's were a hell of a time.

Cars back then were not at the standards that they are now and the crx was considered "safe" enough. In today's standards its a deth trap.

>>17412248
In my area people generally keep their distance, many people have cheap/no insurance + understand that my EF is incredibly brittle, and mine is down on power so it's louder and slower.

>>17412048
why tho.

>>17412440
Well, when it's this bad:

I feel like a roll cage wouldn't make a difference.

>>17412473
>I met a bunch of living people and none of them had died in car wrecks

Damn man, 100000% safety guaranteed
