How do I convince someone that the FC is safe to drive?
 

Like the title says, apparently I've run into some trouble with a couple of my friends thinking that the car isn't safe to ride in so they don't want to ride with me. How would I convince them that the car is safe to ride in?

Is there a reason they don't trust it?


Seems like a PICNIC to me.

Crash it into a wall and survive.

Um.

what's so unsafe about driving an FC? It has a higher safety rating than most other cars in its class from its generation

are you sure its the car they dont trust?

Remind them that if you encounter a hick in an SUV you can probably slide right underneith his truck when he tries to run you off the road!!!

Not to mention that ANY small car is safer than ANY truck or SUV anyway!!!

^+1. just make up some bullshit, tell them it has airbags. most people dont know the difference. it isnt really safe to todays standards....it has seatbelts though right?

They said they are afraid that if I drive into a truck I won't be protected enough and will end up crashed and die.

maybe its your driving

yeah, if you crash into a brick wall

try a 25mph country road head on....

the one with the most lugnuts gonna win

put a roll cage in it then tell them its safe

Maybe you should buy a tank. Call 1-800-GOARMY for more info.

Tried that already, they said that tanks are not for private use and that if I call and ask again I would be sued by the federal army









jk

Got a link for where I could get one?

Are you serious? Who asks a stupid question like this? Do you even have your license?:rlaugh:

Hahaha.... A thread about getting the Initial D look to an FC and then one about your friends not liking you car because it's unsafe..... Fishy!!!

The best thing you could do is sell that car to someone with a brain.

i was kidding but if that would really convice your friends go for it.....i dont really work on my fc that much so someone can help out with the link

lol, my friends and I like to joke around a lot. and they think because the car is old it doesn't have any safety features in it which concerns them, hahahaha

tell them they are fucking pussys and that if they want to drive in an unsafe car to hit me up and ill give em a ride in my starlet.

That thing is a tin can. Try driving that thing on cut springs at 110mph on the 405 freeway or the 10 freeway for that matter and they will know what unsafe feels like, you have to have balls of steel to drive my car on the freeway. Its so small and tiny and it will just crush like an old beer can if i get into any accident doesnt matter if its at 100+ or if its at 15mph (i can attest to it crumpling at 15mph fucked my hood to shit when that happened because i lost brakes coming into a stoplight).

Thats why as soon as the rotary motor gets put in its getting a full cage, im not comfortable driving that car with any more than its current (stock) 76hp to the crank. The planned rotary swap will be putting down 350whp, and i refuse to even drive the car after that til it has a cage because i know imma go do something crazy as soon as i get the motor in and running right and with my luck if i dont have the cage it will be the one time i really need it lol

where are you getting the cage?

Fuck Them! I hate giving people rides! Thats the great thing about a 2-seater!:rlaugh:

autopower makes a bolt in setup for the FC last time i checked. look them up.
