Richfags who buy classics for millions have modern safety cars for daily driving. Why would they care about safety when most treat their classic cars as museum pieces.
considering most people have no more than 1000 in savings i guarantee those people with the big new cars are still barely hanging on for life. but hey im glad your willing to throw money away to make people you dont know think youre rich.
Lmao, not met a lot of people I suppose. You can not make me afraid to drive. From drunk drivers to women I am not afraid. Doesn't even register for me the fact that some people are afraid is a foreign concept that takes effort to understand. I still don't understand it
Thisthisthisthisthis
Imagine how fun yet also efficient an 1800lb 2 door hatch with an opposed twin rr with contemporary engine tech, and torque vectoring front wheel electric drive would be.
/o/tists will seethe but this is a valid concern for the vast majority of people
However, I think there was a sweet spot for safety vs hugeness reached somewhere in the early 00s and now we've blown past it and added silly things like pedestrian safety standards and standards for active safety features
I also think there should be more variation in standards between car classes, so small cheap cars and sports cars don't go extinct
>My car, which is made of stamped sheet metal and mostly plastic is totally safe versus the 40 tonne delivery driver who has fallen asleep at the wheel due to overworking which is about to T-bone your entire car like a crumpled coke can
if they wanted safety, there would be a bug fuck-off spike on the steering wheel. the knowledge that a fender-bender equals death would at minimum eliminate tailgaters.
yeah the countryman is the biggest one im pretty sure. the regular cooper is still small. of course not as small but not like the countryman its a night and day difference.
I swear, if one more homosexual does this cringe fisheye lens false-size-difference shit again...
Yes, the original is smaller, but fuckoff with your photo, it's not THAT big of a difference.
yeah honestly the minicooper is a terrible example and argues against his case.
>IF YOU DRIVE A TRUCK, IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SMALL PEEPEE AND YOU'RE COMPENSATING!!!!
this but unironically. if you don't use it for work you definitely have a small overcompensating clitty peepee
>EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY WITH YOUR TRUCK IT STILL KILLS PEOPLE)
Now take that philosophy and apply it to me. I've never even had a car accident
I also very rarely drive sober. Usually 3 or 4 beers deep before I turn the key. Only because of lifestyle I don't think I'm better drunk or afraid to drive sober it's just how it is. I've driven far nor miles drunk than sober. Never had an accident. I'm 30 yo driving since I was 16
Yes there are, but OP is too brainlet to understand this because you are too much focused on looks of the car and your brain is completely unable to even process other things. The reason why modern cars are so large size Its because of more safety design which includes body and frame, safety systems and driver assistance systems. Also emissions monitor and control systems. Also because of hybrid powertrain with big batteries and 2-3 electric.
The car on left is filled with these safety things and emission control things. The car on the right has none of these except may be a seat belt.
Go buy yourself the cheapest possible car 2013 or newer car you can find regardless to is good condition or broken car. Then disassemble that car to small parts and see with you own eyes on how there's barely any empty areas in the car behind the all the panels, fabrics, covers etc.
>car keeps an eye >the steering wheel >the gas >the brakes >the speed >the exterior condition >the lanes > the road signs >other cars >your children >you
At this point, can't we just go to self-driving already?
people shouldnt be forced to have all this shit just to drive. we don't force pedestrians to wear helmets or monitoring equipment so why the fuck is a car magically forced to have it.

It'll only get worse. Take the motorcyclepill
Safety.
Safety is dumb as fuck and makes cars needlessly expensive
So get a motorcycle. They're fun as.
fun as what? guy literally posted a goose and I hate birds
You take that back immediately. Birds are delicious.
fuck you buddy i'll shit on your car
Only subhuman parasites hate birds.
Classic poorfag cope
If safety mattered no one would buy classics for millions. Safety has no real value to any car enthusiast.
Richfags who buy classics for millions have modern safety cars for daily driving. Why would they care about safety when most treat their classic cars as museum pieces.
These things look like they were welded by someone who makes steel fences for a living.
Bullshit. Fence welders mog anything Ferrari put out in the 50s-60s.
Wtf are you talking about where is there welding???
they buy those classics for the same reason they buy art. as a way to store cash
Nor does driving pleasure because they never actually drive these multi-million cars.
considering most people have no more than 1000 in savings i guarantee those people with the big new cars are still barely hanging on for life. but hey im glad your willing to throw money away to make people you dont know think youre rich.
What you're saying is, we should wreck their car so they get a fat insurance check, right?
It’s not safety it’s ~~*litigation*~~
This. Without gov intervention we'd have smaller and better looking cars. Maybe even cars I'd consider owning in 20 years when they're cheap.
>Safety is dumb as fuck and makes cars needlessly expensive
Man, not valuing your life sounds like a personal problem.
Locked
It is, get a motorcycle
>It is, get a motorcycle
just get wet in the rain dude
>wear my rain gear
>I don't get wet
what gives bro
"safety"
((safety))
safety is when everyone is so fucking terrified of being turned into a steel-human sandwich that they drive carefully and predictably.
Lmao, not met a lot of people I suppose. You can not make me afraid to drive. From drunk drivers to women I am not afraid. Doesn't even register for me the fact that some people are afraid is a foreign concept that takes effort to understand. I still don't understand it
~~**~~
>cars get bigger, yet you get less room for shit to put in it.
that's because people have way too much junk these days
god i hate this.
>cars twice the size
>has half the capcity
why did you kill station wagons, LULZ. you dont deserve the blame but im putting it on you
Safety should be an option, not mandatory. Just like wearing seatbelts

Yeah I'm sure your car is safe, retard.
if they wanted safety, there would be a bug fuck-off spike on the steering wheel. the knowledge that a fender-bender equals death would at minimum eliminate tailgaters.
More like
>Health Insurance cost
But yeah, basically the same thing.
safety would be requiring a more rigorous driver's license for pickup trucks and SUVs
Let's crash. I'll drive the new mini, you drive the old one.
Okay. You crash into a house, I'll crash into a wasp.
Not a fair comparison. Should've used the Mini Cooper S, which is the successor to the original Mini. The Countryman is substantially bigger.
yeah the countryman is the biggest one im pretty sure. the regular cooper is still small. of course not as small but not like the countryman its a night and day difference.
yeah honestly the minicooper is a terrible example and argues against his case.

I swear, if one more homosexual does this cringe fisheye lens false-size-difference shit again...
Yes, the original is smaller, but fuckoff with your photo, it's not THAT big of a difference.
Here's them overlaid to scale.
>about 33% bigger
>”it’s not THAT big of a difference.”
The car in the OP is a Mini Countryman and it's a lot bigger than the Cooper. It's basically an SUV
it's a restyled BMW X1
Same amount of interior room.
bruh you could fit the entirety of the old car inside of the new one
Its not a fisheye lens you fucking schizo MINI dicksucker retard
Mad about the mogging.
The scale of this seems weird. Biden seems way too big.
Fisheye lens.
honestly if cars are too big nowadays and full of bs tech (I agree) motorbikes or custom clubman/lotus super seven are your only options.
That's it.
The new one is a better vehicle in every way and gets better miles per gallon with lower emissions due to egr and cats
my motorbike gets 3 litre per hundred ks and much less emissions.
I can also park it anywhere and lane split.
i bought a 1985 honda acty 4wd 5 speed. how dumb am i?
...wait a second, thats literally the car i bought. it was first on google images
search in incognito, does it still come up first? no? cache
how much?
too much, but i could see it from nearly my front door. i dont think someone would sell a lemon within stones throwing reach, ya know?
idk what you're trying to say, no. use numbers like a proper functioning human
nah
Left probably has better fuel economy than right
Maybe you should look that up.
Aww yes, another hecking REDDIT THREAD!!!!
FUCK CARS, FUCK TRUCKS!!!!
IF YOU DRIVE A TRUCK, IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SMALL PEEPEE AND YOU'RE COMPENSATING!!!!
TRUCKS KILL PEOPLE!!! (EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY WITH YOUR TRUCK IT STILL KILLS PEOPLE)
>IF YOU DRIVE A TRUCK, IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SMALL PEEPEE AND YOU'RE COMPENSATING!!!!
this but unironically. if you don't use it for work you definitely have a small overcompensating clitty peepee
>TRUCKS KILL PEOPLE!!! (EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY WITH YOUR TRUCK IT STILL KILLS PEOPLE)
GOOD
Ironic. It's mostly manlet homosexuals like him that drive such trucks.
could you imagine a world with quiet cars, low impacts and lowered deaths
>5'6"
what a fag
Its a stupid ass argument but he is 100% correct about the last statement, anyone with those rubber band ass tires has never seen an inch of offroad
>TRUCKS KILL PEOPLE!!!

At this rate, a full blown AFV is needed just to not get squashed in a car accident.

Most single mothers are retarded and buy expensive cars on finance.
