You can almost hear him scythe

Don’t worry. Tesla’s self-driving feature is keeping you busy.

But then again, they didn’t crumple up like a paper wad in a 30 mile per hour crash.

Before seat belts became mandatory, fatalities were being impaled on the rigid steering wheels, and occupants being ejected through the windows.

Actually, all the muscle cars of the 60’s are pretty anemic by today’s performance standards. They did kill you pretty efficiently tho…

And the suspension and steering were pretty awful too.

Simply to die for eh?

Don’t forget skinny bias ply tires, drum brakes, and no outside rear view mirrors (they were “options”).

Nader Nader Nader !

Members of the Black Death Auto Club, hey Bikers aren’t the only ones with a death wish…

At least the cars didn’t fold into themselves like they do now. Real bumpers really paid off most of the time.

Hey Death; there’s enough wrong-way drivers to make up for the new safety features. :-(

I agreed with the person that said "if they put a big spike in the middle of the steering wheel, people would drive a lot more carefully to avoid a crash’
