Yeah, I feel less safe driving my wife's minivan (even with it's airbags
and other advanced safety features) because I'm less aware of what's
going on around me. Crank up that really nice stereo and forget it, you
don't even know you're on the road. Scary. In the MGA, if someone's
driving in my blind spot I know they're there because I can hear their
tires.

Another thing that makes you feel less in control.
