This thread has splintered into two different scenarios, and I guess its time to shout "uncle" from here. What denotes a win? Surviving, or one vehicle destroying the other? There are two things being talked about here as if they were one, so not everyone is singing the same tune. If we are concerned about dying in a vanagon from a head on collision, I quit, because most head on collisions at freeway speeds will kill just about everyone in the front seats of all but the Excursions. If an SUV is considered so safe, we can escalate to an SUV vs an 18 Wheeler and decide that the SUV is not safe to drive either. Me, I have been referring to which vehicle will fall to pcs, and which one will mangle the SUV. I think most others are talking death, which is pointless. Probably time to end it. Dave just keeps saying he knows, so that must be it :-) John |
