Tell Your Dad that I can't think of a safer, better built car for the money than a Crossfire.
With over 32k members on the forum, (as Franc pointed out) we've seen more than our share of accident photos. I can only remember 3 fatalities.
One guy commited suicide by driving his roadster off a cliff into the Grand Canyon, another was speeding down a city street in Russia, and got T-Boned by a truck, and one guy was running from a DUI check point (probably drunk) in his SRT6 when he lost control and hit a big truck head on.
These cars are built like tanks, one car was hit by a train, and it still looked like the driver could have survived the accident, even if she hadn't been able to get out in time.
Besides being very well built, it's an ideal car for a teen, because it only holds one other passenger. Less chance of you being distracted while you are behind the wheel.
Oh, and tell your Dad my Daughter bought one too.
Good Luck
