I have real problems with anyone claiming that ANY car is a "death trap". I learned to drive in the late '60s, and have owned cars - all of them small - ranging from a '54 Sunbeam Alpine to a '60 Austin-Healey through the Honda CRX and my current Insight - not to mention a lot of motorcycles. I'm still here, alive & kicking, as are virtually all my contemporaries. If I look at the people a few years older than me, more died in Vietnam than in auto accidents.
On the other hand, my neighbors' granddaughter and her boyfriend were both killed a few weeks ago, when their big, safe new pickup went off the road and rolled.
