These threads always revolve around straight up crashing into something, rather than taking into account that no two (possible) accidents are exactly the same.

I've avoided an accident in a Fiesta that I never could've in a Falcon.
But that's just you...on one particular ocassion..

As they say...past results ain't necessarily a barometer for future performance.

next time you may be saying "wish I'd been in a bigger car"
