Or we can do both - live without fear and also live smart. I was just curious if people thought about it. The reality is that seatbelts saves lives, so do airbags. They do get whiplash with headrests, I agree, I did, just much less severe.

I didn't mean to light one off here - it's my first two pager as far as posts go. If safety was the primary concern I would just buy new. I think the advancements have helped alot but the reason I drive my truck is to go back in time. By that I mean to a simpler time and remind myself of when things seemed better.

One thing - how can not wearing a seatbelt give the same results in the trainwreck? It keeps you in your seat. Most people in roll-overs are thrown out then rolled over by their own car.

In closing - I think the biggest safety factor is being just a lttle higher than the car you are hitting or geting hit by. (Higher up in the air that is.) My truck does have that advantage so...
