You can pry my late 90's early 2000's cars from my cold dead hands. I have a mechanic and I'm going to go find the fountain of youth so I can keep him alive forever.

That era is dramatically less safe than say, 2010+ though. That’s why I ended up upgrading, the survivability stats are stark

>>dalyon+or
Vehicle design or operator usage?

Do new cars appear to be safer because new car owners drive more defensively?

Perhaps bad drivers can only afford old cars and smash them up?

Data is a slippery fish

No? I mean there might be some of that (although I doubt it), but you can just look at test data which has nothing to do with the driver. Crash tests, rollovers, crushing , glancing, etc all dramatically safer with modern improvements.
