Another anecdote. Men usually commute with oldest and highest mileage horse in the barn. Wives/mothers get the biggest, spacious, latest, safest, and fully-equipped vehicles. They are the source of humankind and nurturer of our progeny.
...my wife was driving our children on to way to school, an elderly driver absent-mindedly crossed in front of their path...the head-on collision had a combined closing speeds of 85 mph! Newtonian laws and our larger family vehicle saved their lives. Complete safety deployment and heavy-duty strong crush zones only allowed a broken wrist (wife's), moderate seat-belt bruises on the children, and frayed nerves.
My much older ride would NOT have fared as well.
