Friends: 1 |  They might be able to make some modifications to cars they have not yet manufactured but there is no way you can bring that POS to the dealer and have it reinforced enough to be safe. Notice in the pictures Tempus posted that in all three "kill the occupant" vehicles, the front tires were shoved well back of the side mirror. They need a redesign, not a couple of pieces of metal welded on. |
