But, if you did want to drive over a frame with your car, you could design a carbon tube in such a way as to resist those forces that would be lighter, stiffer, stronger and with a longer fatigue life than any other frame material in use today.

And you're right about two things; you will never sway my opinion with junk like that and I will never sway your opinion no matter how many facts I present.
I plan on being hit by cars most every ride. What frame material is best suited to my constantly being hospitalized? Due to the mounting hospital bills I would like this bike to be cheap since I won't be able to afford new ones.

-thanks

ps it also must be extremely light since I'm a weight weenie
