Um, you’re the one who brought up the example of your Scout and creating memories with your kids and the significance of that vehicle after you’re gone. Maybe I should just let this go. I apologize if I offended you.

Yep, that’s totally the point I was making - everyone should wrap their kids in bubble wrap so we’re always completely safe. :/

I know. And I totally get that. I feel like some people have taken my comments a little too personally earlier in this thread, so let me say it wasn’t my intention to come across as anti-vintage car or to shame anyone. I love old cars. I’m just trying to explain why I think some people are reluctant to drive their…

You’re using a straw man argument. Nobody said we need to go to extremes to ensure safety when walking down a side walk. It’s undeniable, however, that a 50 year old car is not as safe as a new car. Not even close.

Maybe I shouldn’t have used a hyperbolic term like “death trap”. But when I watch that crash test of the 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air VS. 2009 Chevrolet Malibu, it gives me second thoughts about ever driving something older than I am. Don’t get me wrong, I still love vintage cars and still want one. I just don’t feel great…

In my opinion, it’s so much that people aren’t interested in vintage cars but that they think of them more as death traps. If I had a family of my own I would think twice before driving them around in something that lacked airbags and crumple zones.

I know you’re probably going to interpret the following as hate or as the ramblings of a luddite, but here goes anyway...

Prior to this article, I really did think this was a kids movie, along the lines of Baby Geniuses or something. Agreed, very bad title for what looks like a good movie.

Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro

I agree - this is insane.... The passenger can’t even reliably set this thing and they are 100% concentrated on that one task... trying to drive and do this?!?!?!

not really a fan...

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that...

I read that as Nissan Plow. Think I’ve had enough internet for the day.

Thanks, Spider-Man!

Yeah, I think with some systems the accelerometer needs to detect a sudden and significant change in speed. At least that’s my understanding.

This is NOT how you want to be put on display.

Indeed. Are those hand grenades?

Oh yeah, of course I have!

My point is that it’s counter-intuitive. When your brain sees that it says, “wait a minute, that’s the exact opposite of what I expected, but I like it anyway”.

Nobody has ever said, “you know what would be sexy?...more clothing, and make it conservative attire”. And yet, for some reason, it…
