1. Maybe take some of your own advice?
2. Safety is a matter of perspective. I drove an '04 Wrangler followed by a '95 Cherokee for a few years before my Z. My 370Z is light years ahead of either of these cars. A wreck can kill no matter what you drive. Not many cars on the street can avoid a wreck as well as a Z (or any competent sports car with powerful brakes/sticky tires and an attentive driver behind the wheel).
Sure, of you run a Z nose first into a semi going 90mph, you won't be walking away in 1 piece. But even the safest car is going to have situations that physics can't ignore. On the flip side, how hard is it to roll a Z vs. a full-size pickup with an autozone block lift and mud tires? Which one will stop on a dime? Around here the lifted truck market dwarfs the sports car market by an impressive margin.
So is the Z really a dangerous car to own? All I can say is I survived wrecks in plenty of other "death traps" by comparison, and my Z has yet to lose any suspension bits or random bolts while driving.
