I've pretty much lost the desire to get my 66 VW split window microbus back on the road. The thought of nothing between my lower extremities and the typical SUV other than a piece of 2 mm thick steel and a headlight bucket is no longer appealing "just to be different".
From a safety standpoint, we've gone from just lap belts to actual seat belts with a shoulder harness to airbags to automatic braking in passenger vehicles. Yet for some reason, the flat bed tow trucks are free to roam with what amounts to a horizontal razor blade extending far beyond the rear axle with minimal bumper/safety equipment below that in the rear. I try to stay away from those vehicles with the fear of either running up in to one or getting rear ended into one.
