So my friend is a moron. He is trying to tell me a minivan is safer than a Chevy Sonic.


Edit: I am in creditably piss off right now that he would even argue about this. He told me I lack common sense and that I should trade my Camaro and Sonic for a Mini-Van when I have children.

But he doesn't have children, so the argument was all about safety of children

I also had the argument that the Sonic is safer from drivers point of view because it is easier to drive and see.

Well the argument started with the cost of minivan and the Sonic and he lost that so he had to turn to safety. I said my car is way cheaper than any minivan and it gets better gas mileage.

Your camaro has back seats. Totally sufficient for kids, and way safer than 99% of the cars out there

So my co-worker has a 2013 1LT and installed this, Eibach 38143 Pro Kit.

Lowers the front 1" and the rear 1.3". He said it tightened things up, but not quite enough for him so he also added the uprated front and rear sway bars. Got both for about $500.

It's a clean look and doesn't impact drivability (speed bumps etc) at all really.
