Yea, I'm over 40. But here's a better take. I believe sports cars--even small ones like the FRS--are safer than a normal car. Accelertion, braking and handling come in handy in dangerous situations. As they say, when in doubt power out! Ponycars like the Mustang, Camara, etc are really solid as well. No way the FRS is going to tip over if you have to do a sudden avoidance maneuver. Many top heavy cars like heavy pick up trucks, for example, can't stop suddenly. Recently I was in a multi car pile up with my 05 Mustang GT (recently sold). I came to a stop, the BMW behind me came to a stop, the Porsche behind the BMW came to a stop, and a Nissan Titan couldn't stop and plowed into all three of us. No one was hurt. But I was almost killed by another huge pickup that only avoided me by at the last second swerving into the highway shoulder and passing by me two car lengths with ABS system firing because it's not the type of vehicle that can stop suddenly in a lot of big city sudden start-stop accelertion situations.
