Oooooh are you gonna get flamed (excerpt sniped), and it ain't from any
exploding gas tank!
In all likely hood, I believe exploding gas tanks would be your least
concern. If you get hit hard enough to do serious damage to the gas tank I
don't think you'll even be able to care about it if you get my meaning.
Located where it is, well you would take one hell-of-a-hit! I certainly
wouldn't want to be in any car that takes a hit like that! If anyone's that
paranoid I can't imagine even getting in any car! I always amazes me how
someone can think of what horrible accident they're going to get into. .
.when I get into my car, that's certainly not what I think. If I did I
would probably never drive again!
