Remember what Disraeli said about lies and statistics, doncha? You can tortue statistics into telling you anything.

Where was the legendary Volvo and M-B.

I see the Corolla is above my F-series.

Anybody here wanna take bets on who would have walked away if my ABS hadn't saved the day?

I suspect those folks are reconsidering what they drive. I am not.

SUVs and pickups are top-heavy and the ever-present idiots drive them like sports cars. I'd be willing to bet that most of those deaths were single-vehicle accident where the idiot found something nice and solid to whack into.

If a person is driving for MPG that scenario is very remote.

BTW the car most involved in rollovers is the Corvette.

Safe they may be, but minivans still suck the gas.
