thats an interesting article. Having been a Captain in the Fire dept and being attached to the "hurst tool and other rescue gear" for many years, I never came across a car we could not cut through. It's nice to know....

Holy moly. I take it you are okay?

You can really see where the B pillars went to work in those pictures.

ValvetrainEngineer · 02-28-2006, 08:40 AM

Well now I'm more tempted to go for lightweight seats without the side impact airbag...

Ever wonder why our vehicles are relatively damage resistant?

Here's some food for thought:

Nice. That was a pretty good read.

**SoJDM.com** · 02-28-2006, 09:59 AM

WOW! Never knew that. I wonder why the car maker hasn't played the safety angle with this.

george2 · 02-28-2006, 09:59 AM

Im happy so see that I figured it was unsafe being that it is small. It all makes sense now small car 3000lb that is where the weght is in the b pillar

VetteVert · 02-28-2006, 10:19 AM

Yup, fine

This is one thing they never touch on in the comparisions with the EVO. I'm not entierly familar with the EVO's safety record, but I've heard rumblings about it being a death trap.

If this is true, next time someone asks you about why you didn't go EVO, just point them to this article.

CruisinSTI · 02-28-2006, 07:23 PM

If he doesn't think the Subaru is safe and reliable, what kinda car does he think fits that description.
