I'm much less likely to have my car stolen, to sustain serious injury, and even get into an accident.
Whoa Nellie! Where in hell did that come from? The only thing that could remotely apply is the brakes and that's not necessarily true. Did you know that anti-lock brakes take LONGER to stop? Yes, they allow you to steer and don't ruin(flat spot) your tires but in most cases it's a wash. The Insurance Companies have found that the parking lot fender benders have gone up with anti-locks and are dropping the discount for them like hot potatoes. If you know how to use the brakes properly you can stop faster and still avoid obstacles. Yes, most people don't know how.

People who drive two-seater convertibles with turbo-charged engines are taking a huge risk, so they pay more.
C'mon....that's not true. Maybe the people that make that choice tend to drive in a riskier manner but just making that choice doesn't put you at risk. I think that's probably what you meant but that ain't whatcha said.
