I am 57 and have not been killed by my deathtraps yet. My current ones are:
96 Geo 1.0
05 Neon SRT4
84 Plymouth HHorizon
06 Scion Xb
In the past the following deathtraps could not kill me either:
60s Fiat 600 (Wish I kept that one!)
67 BMW 2000
67 BMW 2000 CS
71 Dodge Dart
70s Fiat 128 Sport Cpe

Of course, it helps when you don't get into accidents...I had a bumber bender on the 128Sport Cpe and that has been it!

I WAS almost killed in two NEW mail trucks from head on collisions with idiots that did not see me. Those trucks are all aluminum and crumple like tin cans.....very rough on the drivers sine the only protection is a seat belt that catches too late si you get to mash your head on the steering wheel about the same time that it digs into your chest!
