Only fools are complaining about gas prices

Are you kidding me? The stuff I cut and pasted was a summary of the article, (not the entier article) and among other things, it said:

"...The smallest vehicles in any type/body style generally have the highest (death) rates..." This was a quote from McCart, who summarized his entire study.

So the stuff about the Ford Excursions wasn't the end of the article...it was a small snippet of it, which I selectively cut and pasted. I kept the Excursion stuff so that nobody could accuse me of distorting the facts by omission. In summary, bigger vehicles are safer, but there are exceptions to the rule such as certain SUVs prone to rollover.

And you didn't conclude that I hadn't fully read or understood the article. No, for all practical purposes you called me a liar because I stated that I had intentionally left the part about Ford Excusions in.

I can't argue with you anymore. You're either a troll, or you just can't keep track of argument and context.

Yeah like a butterfly kissing an elephants ass

 

Hey if you are that poor that you buy a Civic to save a few bucks then you must be a lousy trader

 

No. More like an elephant stomping a butterfly's butt!

 

This is a silly topic, no longer worth of economics.

I'm going to buy an Abrams tank and drive up and down the interstate. You guys can crash into me all you want and talk about kinetic energy.

 

Let's not bring your sex life into this

 

I'm going to buy one of these, and run over Civics, Smart Cars, Mini Coopers and Honda Fits.

 

what has any of this got to do with the topic? The question was, what is safer to drive. it had nothing to do with running into each other. Deaths by rollover still lead to the morgue.

But I will tell you what. Since you want to partition deaths by category, let us compare having a Civic and an SUV:

going downhill at 50 MPH,
in the rain at night,
on an unfamiliar road,
and suddenly, a sharp bend appears overlooking a 1000 foot drop.

now, still want to be driving the SUV?

 

Yes, with all wheel drive. My old Landrover Discovery could run circles around two wheel drive rice burners in wet weather.

TraderZones is getting a little desperate, caps, protestations and photos..

The Civic is a shitty little gas guzzling Dodo, if you were driving an electric car I could forgive the cheerleading for a sardine can but the Civic is ending up on the same scrap heap as the SUV.. the only difference is the SUV owners will be driving to the scrap metal yard in comfort and safety
