Huh? I took conanite to mean newer cars are "tanks," only in the sense they survive crashes better than old cars. He was saying that it might not be a relative advantage if the other car hitting you is equally impervious. Irresistible force, etc. etc.

My only point was that you are much better off in a modern car striking a telephone pole than you would be in a 1959 car, even if it is true that you are somehow worse off when two modern cars strike each other (although I doubt that also). Nothing about literal tanks intended whatsoever.

Your comment seems to take the exact opposite meaning from what I intended to say, so I must have expressed myself poorly.

I see what you mean now, but there are several threads in this discussion that use "tank" to refer to old cars (i.e. made-out-of-steel rust buckets.)
