Horsepower, torque and fuel

American Car Freak

Car crashes and what makes us love them.

Whenever we see a car crash we always look over our shoulders for as far as our mirrors will let us so we can see the aftermath unfold. Now of course no one wants to see people get hurt during on of these crashes but there is a part of us that likes to see two cars hit one another and smelling the burnt rubber in the air.

I think the thing that makes us like them is the fact that they don’t happen that often and when it does it’s rare. Sure we all go past them (aftermath) but not many of us see them happen. I myself have BEEN in a few car crashes but I have only seen one other car accident in my life. If car crashes happened all the time we’d not care and we’d think nothing of them. But the fact is that it doesn’t it’s totally the animalistic side of us that gets us loving car crashes.

In 2006, About 44,000 Americans died in car crashes two years ago, the numbers aren’t out yet for 2007 but the number of crashes raises by about 18% each year scince the year 1990. This is something we need to really work on and we need to take the measures to make sure that this doesn’t happen to you or a loved one.

We have all sat and watched videos on Youtube where people are going 110 mph into a truck and getting destroyed. I think it’s time that we take some time to educate ourselves as much a possible. Go to drivers training and call your insurance company and get some ideas how to better put you in a better situation. Also, go online and visit consumer reports websites and read those reports. Send me your pictures right now to my email and I’ll put them up on the site of your accidents that you’ve been in and we’ll judge them and will hook the winner up with a prize.

    44,000 people die each year from automobile crashes? Wow…all the more reason to buckle your seat belt I guess.

    Unfortunately, it’s really not that hard to imagine the carnage that happens on the roads considering how much time we actually spend distracting ourselves when we should be driving; we eat, talk on the phone, read, and do pretty much anything else except drive.
