Safety on news: surprising
 

First that CBS TV coverage head-ons (offset about 3 feet) then a USA Today article online- same test. Comments (about 12 pages) were all over the map about safety of small versus large cars.

A Smart car was one head-on test and it bounced off and discinigrated! Sure makes me wonder about my interest in the Xebra PU safety! :confused:

Didn't make me feel as safe as I used to in my City-EL! :eek:

As whatever commentator I heard on the radio mentioned, these types of crashes are so rare that they are no included in the federal crash safety testing regimen.

Don't worry too much.

This business opened up last week in Santa Cruz:

Even though the City-el is taller with the top up, I am sure I will have to listen to a lot of safety talk. Probably more now! They have 10 of those rentals, so I am not joining the 3-wheel roads only with 2 Xebras any more - so much for being unique!

The Baltimore CBS station covered this story in a strange way. They made it sound that buying larger cars is essential to living a healthy life. And buying a small car is similar to committing suicide.

I guess I can't live a healthy life.:rolleyes:
