Because SMART frugal people bought Corollas or Civics.Why are its drivers dying at twice the rate of Corolla and Civic drivers then? Presumably the same frugal people are cross-shopping those vehicles. I was, before we bought our CPO Fit...

OK...since no one else will say it outright....so long as your car looks like a vag, it makes it a vag.Teenagers + Fast Car = Tree
The insurance on my Forester XT is almost half of a WRX, and it's 95% of the same car. And it's faster.
You are assuming a base level of frugality. Try assuming a level of poverty. Cheapest car wins.Why are its drivers dying at twice the rate of Corolla and Civic drivers then? Presumably the same frugal people are cross-shopping those vehicles. I was, before we bought our CPO Fit...
Well from that pov... I'm a big dick, shoved into a little can... I can see where you are going here.OK...since no one else will say it outright....so long as your car looks like a vag, it makes it a vag.
You might can stuff John Holmes penis inside a girls box, but it's still....a vag.
Yup, most folks seem to buy the nicest car they can afford. Age plays into this as well, in general younger folks don't have $$ so they end up in a car like the Rio. The actual crash testing is probably more telling.You are assuming a base level of frugality. Try assuming a level of poverty. Cheapest car wins.
What is the CPO for? I have a Fit Sport, and saw a guy with BC plates driving a Fit RS that had some sort of dual exhaust but couldn't find anything about a Fit RS on the Google?...before we bought our CPO Fit...
I'd still like this question answered:CPO = bought as a certified pre-owned vehicle. Hi, btw. Still have any Blazers around or are those long gone?
Driver deaths per million registered vehicle-miles.That was definitely a tl;dr post.......but did they take into consideration that SUVs will most likely carry more passengers per vehicle on average, given it's size? Are the deaths absolute values, or are they given as a percentage of the total number of passengers?
I can't find a source for it, but I remember they had some weird accident rates between a Dodge/Plymouth badged cars some years back. They couldn't figure it out, until they looked at the demographics of the buyers-and it turned out that the Dodge was being bought by a significantly younger group than the Plymouth. The Plymouth was much safer statistically, even though they were the same car.
Could all be BS though, since I can't find it....
Gotcha.CPO = bought as a certified pre-owned vehicle. Hi, btw. Still have any Blazers around or are those long gone?
Red is actually the least visible in terms of retinal physiology, and there are measurable effects of human perception lag/lack thereof. I wrote about this topic elsewhere at some length last year, and I think I posted it in my ride pics thread. Easier to find this ADVrider thread by me: http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=615400I was going to say something along similar lines.
For example, WHITE cars are the safest. FALSE
White cars are in less accidents than similar models in say GREY or RED... TRUE... Becasue the Red or grey ones are bought by younger more agressive drivers. White by older family oriented folks. SO my wife arguing that we need to get a white car bc it is safer is BS. Color AND accidents are a factor of a common denominator... the driver.
Then she tried to say that the white car was more visible thus safer... Well what about RED cars. Those are probably the MOST visible but not the "safest".
Do these roll over rate charts take into effect Male Driver vs Female Driver as well as the asian drivers up ahead causing half the roll overs?Do back-seat drivers count?
in 99 the superduty was introduced, they have completely different bodies, I do not know if they share any of the same dash/interior components, but they do share the 5.4 liter engine and some drivetrain components from time to time but in a crash I would believe them to have many differences.PS; the model of F150's around the 2001 model year (until the redesign in '04?) were notorius for there bad design/cabins colapsing in accidents.
The redesign was done with the help of Volvo (not sure if Ford still owns Volvo or not?) and were advertised as setting some sort of landmark in crash protection.
PPS; comparing a F250/350 to a F150 since about 1997 isn't right as they are basicly different trucks now. I don't believe they share anything anymore?

I've heard this is the same reason why cops use blue code three lights. A couple fire departments bought into this study and changed the colors of their rigs from red to this fugly lime green.Red is actually the least visible in terms of retinal physiology, and there are measurable effects of human perception lag/lack thereof.

OMG! Still ROFL! Dude I tried giving you rep on this one and it won't let me. I'm posting that youtube vid on Facebook! This is too funny! "good luck evreeboddy!"
probably cause you neg repped me yesterday...OMG! Still ROFL! Dude I tried giving you rep on this one and it won't let me. I'm posting that youtube vid on Facebook! This is too funny! "good luck evreeboddy!"
wow, that was a lot of words to say "it depends" and "judge by crash test"
the subaru nerds have come out to attest to how safe their cars are....maybe the audi geeks will come out in another day or two to say how safe their cars are....whatever.
don't drive like a spaz, buy a car that was designed with safety in mind....yeah. Is there any table quantifying the added outside visibility that a taller car gives you, or the better viewpoint that ones gives?
Audi's are definitely the safest car. Most of them can't even leave the garage!maybe the audi geeks will come out in another day or two to say how safe their cars are....whatever.
