"I routinely see incredibly light weight autos (F1, CART) run into things at up to 200 MPH without damage to the driver. Cars can be made light and strong. You just need to work at it."

I see you learned what little you know about cars from TV:

Have you noticed that no F1 or CART cars carry passengers, that they get around 4 m.p.g., and that they don't meet ANY NHTSA safety standards???

And how would you like to pay as much as an F1 car costs???

Stick to whatever it is you know.

"Stick to whatever it is you know."

That is against FR principles. LMAO

I am only pointing out that there are technologies which can (and will) be used when fuel becomes so expensive that cars will have to be lighter. This will come to pass.

Around Toronto, probably 80 % of commuters drive alone. Maybe a properly made highly efficient but safe car will have a market.

Most of the cost of the race car is related to the speed.

I resent your gratuitous comments since you have no idea what I know.
