Alex,
And so are a lot of "modern" cars. My daughter lost two close friends in
a single car accident involving a Volvo. The point being you could be
driving
a Hummer and be killed. It's a lot like driving a motorcycle. If you have
respect
for it and what can happen if you lose focus you should do OK. The world
is full
of "other guys" over which we have no control. Is it going to stop me
from driving
a Healey, I think not. At least if and when it does happen I will go with
a smile on
my face. Thanks.
