Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

Dan,

C'mon. Carbon monoxide levels made people "impaired"?

If you feel that way, why do you drive a slant 6? It should be banned.

Also....... "No amount of talespinning or handwaving makes yesterday's cars anywhere near as safe as today's, in any kind of crash. They just plain aren't. Not in the real world."

Any kind of crash? Really? Dan....

You may be aware of the engineering, but have you ever been a first responder at auto crashes? REAL world? Puh-lease.

I agree fully! I was thinking the same things about those responses to my comments. What is this fumes crap. CO may be reduced by the cat but once it's out of the tail pipe, the car may as well not have one. Close the vent on your car, it helps.

And, it's not talespinning, or handwaving, to rip on old cars it's blowing smoke up ppls arses, quit it. Go buy a Prius if you haven't already then if you hate old cars. Be like my neighbors: 1971 Olds 442 the next day a Prius the same color.
