Question on baby safety

Yeah, Dan.  When I was a baby my parent's car was a 1929 Ford Model A which 
had the wonderful safety feature of laminated glass in the 
windshield.  Windshield only.  Almost any modern car is better than 
that.  Certainly any modern Audi more than qualifies as a "safe" vehicle.

My wife was cruising on I-81 at 75 mph one midnight several years ago.  I 
was riding shotgun (asleep).  Our granddaughter was in her car seat in back 
(asleep) and my wife was in the driver's seat (asleep).  Two guard rails 
later we were all awake, the car was totaled, and none of us even had so 
much as a scratch or a bruise.  This was in a 1988 Audi 90 quattro.
