That’s like saying if you fall from the tenth floor balcony just do a push up as you hit the ground.

Also, bracing yourself in any type of traumatic hit/fall/tumble/etc is going to create more injury.

Not only would you not be able to react fast enough, but if you tried to brace yourself your arms would snap like twigs. Then they might bend backwards into your face and smash your face. Crash forces at even 30mph are insanity.

The seat was never designed to take that kind of load. Even the driver’s deceleration load isn’t meant to go through the seat back; it goes to the B pillar. So yeah, 200 pounds hitting it at 50mph or so is going to break it like it’s nothing.

what, no, I always wear a seat-belt... who are these people? Uber/Lyft drivers are some of the worst drivers I have been in the car with, if I could wear a 2nd seat-belt, I would.

You try bracing yourself in a crash enough not to go flying out of your seat.

Looks like a regular belt should be required too, or passengers may end up terminally em-bare-assed.

This is not just for your sake. What do you think happens to that driver when his passenger smashes into the back of his seat?

I like to tell people that “every car is 4 wheel drive when you take your foot off the gas.” That helps them actually understand it a bit. AWD/4WD only helps with acceleration in winter conditions(for the common driver).

Winter tires help you stop in the winter not AWD.

The only Ferrari SUV I’d accept would be something like a high dollar Rally Fighter. If they have to build something with a high centre of gravity, then do it right and make it a beast off-road instead of some soft-road poseurmobile.

what’s wrong with an SUV that does 0-60 in under 3 seconds and pulls over 1 g on the skid pad?

I’m still waiting for my smartphone joystick.

Nothing wrong with them, they’re just not as fun as a similarly-specced car. For me, fun = curvy road. Even if an SUV can pull 1g in steady-state cornering, the added weight and higher CoG make transitioning sketchy, oversteer/understeer happen more abruptly, and the steering provide less feedback but more required…

The way people around here drive them, they dominate at occupying the ditches.

SUVs are about being capable of doing the business off-road. The Ferrari SUV almost certainly won’t be doing any of those bonkers performance figures off road.

NOBODY’S REAL

If you have owned nothing but Chrysler products than you don’t really have a basis for comparison.

Another crappy rental, clearly missing the necessary maintenance and care. I’m getting the idea that this is a quite common situation in the great USA, where half of the States make DMV inspections with a beer in one hand, and $5o in the other. I can guarantee you that here in Europe we care more for the safety of our…
