This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

There's no such thing as a safe car. Sure, you can have large crumple zones, but in a full on crash, it's still a toss of the dice if you make it out alive. You probably didn't mean it that way, but I despise the car industry selling ever-larger monstrosities under the pentence of safety, when all they do is put other people in danger

Oh sure. I meant like don't buy one made of plastic or a convertible without a roll bar. But speed and luck are your defining odds for survival.

You can push the odds but using a heavier car to be more reckless elsewhere driving to keep the same odds of dying in a crash is so dumb.
