Hey All
I apologize, that last response should have and should always be on the Off
Topic list. Sorry my mistake.

Hey Robert
Not really. An article many years ago in Mother Jones (albeit a very left
wing interpretation) and other magazines of the time, explained the logic of
the cost cutting versus the cost of a human life, it was kind of jaw
dropping, how the car company came up with their figures. Sorry I could be
off track on your comment and this really has no place on this community,
but I was just totally amazed how industry dupes us.

Thanks

Tony,

I doubt that the car company expected the gas tank to blow up either.  :-)
