How safe is your car based on information from official organizations like Euro NCAP and IIHS (links below)? If you can find them, feel free to post crash test videos of your car performing in a crash test.

My car, a 1989 Ford Tempo AWD Sedan, has a "Good" (or four stars) for both direct and off set frontal impacts according to NHTSA. It is unrated in side impact. NHTSA also says Tempo has an "acceptable" death rate and marginal injury rate. I somewhat think those results are a bit optimistic after seeing the actual crash test footage. The IIHS has not rated Tempo in any category. Below is a link to the side impact crash test footage.

Not good. But not as bad as my mom's minivan (Chevy Venture/Opel Sintra), which was just horrendous. My mom didn't think they could legally sell a vehicle so dangerous..
Edit; sorry for screwing up the poll. No idea why it does that. Ugh.
