Small cars may not fare well in crashes with larger vehicles!

Someone spent money to discover this. Lots of money.

The best part about this particular discovery is that noone knew. Ever since the advent of the steam engine, people were wondering ALL AROUND THE WORLD if they tied someone down on a track, with a train coming, wether or not the person would be damaged in any way.



I'm so glad we finally cleared that up!

It was because there was so much hype over outliers like Chuck Norris. Roundhousing trains really throws the bell curve!

so insurance will see them as a liability, too light wont fair well in a crash so you pay more



to big and heavy, like a suburban- and its too heavy and too many people inside who might get hurt and you will inflict more harm on others so you pay more



2 seater- pay more because its a 2 seater- but why if only 2 people can get hurt????

It just summarizes the fact that no matter what you do you're fucked.
