I'm buying a new Chevy Malibu this week, so I was looking for crash tests on YouTube. I came across this - 2009 Malibu vs. 1959 Bel Air.

Um, SCARY.
So, if car seats expire in 5-10 years due to safety improvements, degradation of materials, safety standards, laws, etc., why don't cars? Not necessarily talking about vehicles aged 20 years or less. I'm sure they're still relatively safe. I'm talking OLD OLD cars. Why is something like that still legal to drive? Seems like it wouldn't just be a danger to the driver, but to other motorists, passengers, etc.
I know I wouldn't ride in that deathtrap! ::shudder::
