Re: IML: Safety- Old cars vs New cars

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

No matter what we drive, the car is only as safe as what is sitting 
behind the wheel. The driver must adapt to whatever he/she is driving. 
Any car is a lethal weapon when misused. New car safety features are 
great, but old Imperials are safe too if they are driven appropriately.

Personally, if I am going to be hit by someone else, I would rather be 
in one of my Imperials than in a modern small car. That's just me, and 
so far that theory has worked out fine.

     I have always said that I hate Pain, and I'd rather be hit in 1 of 
my old cars than any new car, because 99 times out of 100 I'd just have 
to slide across the seat to get out. I would have to stand there while 
the jaws of life try to get any other car open. Now that I've heard my 
57 Imperial has been banned from demo derbies,  I just watch for 
tractor trailer trucks going fast.  As I said I hate pain and would 
rather be in any of my 6 Chrysler products than ANY new one.
