Old cars are dangerous...new cars are safer. How old is too old? I spent months figuring out how car safety actually works and I’ll share those details with you.

The IIHS website is great but it provides no guidance for “when a vehicle becomes dangerous”. I think this guide gives you a great cutoff and a way to judge what vehicle to buy.
Big big thanks to Drekken Pownz @ProBotsAI for his help with the storyline. Thanks to @excessorizeme for lending me his GoPros.
