It's funny how everyone is so concerned with "safety". Many of my friends
and even my own father killed in car accidents, the first thing that comes
to mind is when your tickets punched, that's all she wrote. My concerns is
with the 4x4 effect, where you see these 4x4 pickups blasting down the
highway during a blizzard, just because you have it, you just don't push it.
If your hit broadside....you ain't got a lot of anything between you and the
accident, I wouldn't put much faith in an airbag protecting my head, when
the rest of my limbs are crushed and or severed.........................

Just suppose though that they start putting motorcycles through these
"safety" tests, OH MY GOD! SAVE ME!

I still think the Element is one kick-ass car, you want safety............
get a Mercedes or a Hummer!
