My old Toyota Corolla SE Liftback from the mid 80's was a great car, but would I let one of my kids drive one as their first car? I doubt it as there are more cars on the road these days, they drive faster and accidents thus tend to be more violent. You want all the safety features that are available. I saw a program on the box this week about lateral shocks (accidents and what they do to the brain (you don't want to know), but basically a bad lateral impact will put you into a coma, and you'll probably die, but side-curtain air-bags will save your life just by absorbing the lateral shock to the head. I've never seen the deployment of curtain air-bags, but if I or one of my kids ever has a side-on crash, I want them. Have a good trip back. I agree Scott.

Good luck guys....you may need it. Given Carina’s popularity as a cab, will you be using LINTO to pick up fares along the way to boost the BEN coffers? Good luck guys….you may need it.
