Re: IML: Safety of old cars vs new cars

["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before the Imp. cops shout "NIP IT IN THE BUD" (had to quote Don Knotts, one 
of my all time favorite actors) regarding this thread (lack of Imperial 
content- trust me, it's gonna happen-LOL), I want to share a link to an 
amazing story.  A buddy of mine (from another old car list) found himself in 
a winless situation one day.  His heavy Buick Wildcat saved his life.

I do believe Mark McDonald when he said, for the most part, (some) new cars 
are better at saving your life than old(er) cars.  Technology has come a 
long way in protecting the occupants from rear end, side and head-on 
crashes.  The electronics in cars of today monitor so much, it's amazing! 
Of course, the car is usually toast but at least that can be replaced...
