They made great points, but they also posted this video made by Chevro­let com­par­ing a crash between a ’59 BelAir and an ’09 Mal­ibu. Great job. (make sure you watch to the end for the results)

No offense to my car bud­dies in Greenville. Those old cars look sharp, but my mod­ern car just makes me feel a lit­tle safer now.

I’m not a car nut, but have long heard about how much safer cars were back then because they were heavier and made of steel. The pod casters made points about why cars today have different materials to protect us and quoted statistics to show the sharp decrease in vehicular deaths.
