Well I would have to agree. I mean after all he went to my videos saying that there was no government regulation and now hes saying he said stronger government regulations. Regardless he doesnt comprehend they had very strict government regulation its just the regulations wasnt updated.  He doesnt comprehend that he is still wrong. Just like with this he cant get it out of his head that no two crashes are alike. Thats why I am resorting to deleting his childish rants on my videos.

More metal doesn't mean safer. Old cars weren't engineered to protect people in a crash.

No, I don't hate everything old, I love old things. I'm just not in denial that older things weren't as safe as newer things.

Milner, you're in denial about old things. They were not as safe as new things. Cars, ships, etc. Get over it.

I dont know! Something just doesn't seem right. I have a 1955 ford fairlane, and Thats Pure American Metal. I just cant see how a fiberglass, plastic CHEVY could do that to one of our cars. hmmmm.

From 58 to 64 these Chevy's, and a lot of GM cars had X frames. Most cars then, Like your 55 Ford and My 57 Plymouth (sorry I just had to throw that in lol!) had two big frame rails from front to back, the Chevy's joined in the middle. Fine if you hit something head on, But gives a non X frame car WAY more leverage in an offset crash like this. Not to say new cars aren't more safe, But this car probable would have done just as bad against any year car without an X frame.

That's exactly right. The X frame was faulty. So was the A pillar. Why can't these denialists see that?
