Default Corolla Death Trap!

Why? Regardless of traction and stability devices, the rolling moment
of the
Tribeca is a function of weight and geometry. Once the correct moment
is
applied to the car, it rolls.


As it is for all cars.


That's why the Corolla is intrinsincly less prone to roll overs.


But the Tribeca has a very good rating for an
SUV


But it is a lousy SUV.


and is rated as one of the safest cars of any type available.


But it is not available as a car.


It's
not only safe due to rollover resistance, it's also safe due to it's
AWD system which is now legendary.


Is the Tribeca's AWD exclusively legendary or is AWD legendary or is Subaru
AWD legendary?


It also has the highest safety
rating for a crash.


Plus it's more prone to crash, especially roll overs.

It just covers all the bases.


If you are playing baseball on a cricket field.



The Sedona is rated
even higher


The Sedona isn't alone.

(It's bigger and heavier of course), though even the Sedona
loses out to the AWD Subaru.


In what?

A Corolla is a rollerskate.


It tends not to roll. It is very economical, I'd call it a cheapskate. A
good, expensive way to roll is to buy a Tribeca. Do they put escape hatches
on the bottom of those things?

Most people barely consider it a "car."


I'm not most people.

I don't even think it's safe to stand close to one.


I wouldn't either. The last time I did a defective headlamp and axle flew
out of it and hit me in the leg!

This may be my last post here. I'm taking my Corolla a few blocks to the
donut shop. I don't know if I'll make it back. Pray for me!

Glory!
