Default Why i drive a full frame car.

Copied from another board.

Last Friday (the 13th!) at 23:59 my box died. I was T-boned by a cabbie doing around 65km/h. After the initial hit, we kept rolling and smashed into a telephone pole. When we finally came to rest we were a little shaken, but when the paramedics arrived, with a little help we crawled out and walked away. Miraculously, we were largely unharmed. A little stiff, but unharmed. A sure testimony to the power of the box. My car will be sorely missed by many.
65 K/ph is about 40 MPH

Nope full frame has been since 1979 and still is today. Will continue to be until 2009. After that no one is sure weather the platform will survive. The frame rails are about 4" x 5". A CG model of the frame is in my avatar.
