When the unexpected happens the world speeds up in an awful hurry. Once had a ball joint fail on the hub snapped the threaded section clean off.

a guy at work say that cars DONT need roll cages. He think its just for rolling on the roof. I realy want to kick his head in whit a crowbar, but i want to drive my car when its road legal, so i cant prove him wrong whit a crowbar

Cars that are being designed now or in the past few years probably 'don't' need roll cages for everyday driving mishaps.
