Heck, you can’t even buy the top model Camaro in Europe because it has CF canards on the front and they say it can slice a persons leg.
Could go on and on for days how much intervention the governments of many countries make. Car manufacturers wouldn’t put shit into their cars if they didn’t have to. They don’t want to put expensive materials in to lighten them after safety features bogged them down or develop new engines that don’t kill the environment and meet emissions standards etc etc

Once upon a time, many years ago, I used to like playing with cars/bikes. Not so much now. I'm here because I know several people which is really what keeps me kicking around. Your statement goes hand in hand, how can you argue about guns and safety when you know nothing about them other than "guns kill".
But you're right. How can I be on a car forum when I know absolutely 0 about cars. Perhaps I'll take what it seems to be that you're hinting at and sign out.
