I’m no expert but that sounds like a bad idea.

Car safety cages can handle more impact force than human bones and organs can so they’ve got the right of it.

Of course, but it seems better to get out and move off the road & not be in a position where you’re gambling over how well you’ll make out of getting smashed by a semi. Ofc every option is shit and absurdly life threatening.

Ideally in a situation like this you want to get out of your car and basically sprint off the road as quickly as possible. If you get in an accident under normal conditions you’d want to stay in your car, but here you have tractor trailers flying at you at 60 mph with no means of stopping if you stay in the car. People routinely get killed in these pileups by getting sandwiched between big rigs.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: The personal automobile will be looked upon, in the future, as a net negative. We will grind our intellects to slurry trying to figure out why we thought giving everyone an exploding poison-excreting hunk of metal and plastic was good. They’ll look at garages and to a table of all the carcinogens released and they’ll throw up their hands and shout “by god, they let these things inside their homes!”

Garages are cool as fuck. Great workplaces. Great storage. In the winter they’re good for storing root vegetables and beer at a nice temperature. Garage sans car is a garage living its best life.

ive heard that its a bad place to store chemicals in and stuff cause it can get into your house and affect your lungs. apparently its the most likely reason why your house’s air quality is bad. but i assume if you dont keep your car on in the garage and keep the door open to air out stuff regularly while having an airtight access door / walls its probably fine

Cars are already a mindfuck to me. It just seems wrong that we all get places by screwing around with souped-up high-speed tractors. The only thing preventing you from dying at any given moment on the road is that some other chucklefuck is paying attention and doesn’t want to die. They could just drive right into you. Nothing is really stopping them - what, like the paint on the ground? Make sure to steer your explosion-propelled carriage just right!

i’ve seen a lot of traumatic footage in my life, people cannot stay composed during bizarre, violent, and catastrophic events. They get giddy. It’s never depicted that way in popular media but people straight up start laughing during the most fucked up shit and they can’t help it. It’s not because they find it funny necessarily. It’s often just a nervous tick.

I have two theories on this.

1: Adrenaline is one hell of a drug

2: This is probably the most interesting thing which has happened in Schuylkill County in over a decade.
