I always think of the Crown Victoria. I watched a show about a cop who was badly burned because of a design flaw which causes the gas tank to explode. His car was hit from behind. He was stuck inside the burning car. To me it sounds like the Crown Victoria is a glorified Pinto.


To solve the problem, Ford provided plastic caps to prevent the metal parts from hitting together and causing a spark which would ignite the fuel. (Kind of like Service Pack 2.)

On the first point, if you were to fight Goliath, would you choose a big sword or the sling?
