Big discussion this morning over talk radio and putting your kids in the front seat of the car. Even with car seats and seat belts it is the air bag that is the big issue right, besides the weight and height restrictions for seatbelts? Do you take your children in your 914's, and do you think it is safe. Everyone gave me a hard time because I take my youngest in the 914 with me. We use her booster seat and the new seat belts. In our other cars she is always in the back seat because of air bags ect... I don't drive the same when she or any one else is in the 914 with me, I am slow and law abiding. Do you take your kids out in the cars and do you think they are safe. Are there any statistics for these cars and saftey? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Feb 11 2004, 03:18 PM) ...The 914 has very large crumple zones front and rear; much larger than just about any other contemporary sports car... I can personally attest to their frontal crash worthyness! The below is a 30-mph hit into a brick retaining wall, centered mostly on the left side of the bumper. (IMG:http://www.icbm.org/erkson/personal/sides.jpg) (IMG:http://www.icbm.org/erkson/personal/ends.jpg) Both doors had the same gap and worked PERFECTLY!. The break-away tranny mounts didn't help much with towing her onto the flatbed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
