After following the "rollover thread" it occurred to me that there are many safety features in the car in the event of something like a rollover. There is a valve in the gas tank filler neck to prevent fuel from comming out in a rollover. The inertia switch should shut down the fuel pump and unlock the doors. The restraining brackets will keep the hood from intruding into the windscreen. There is no airbag but if you wear the lap-shoulder belt you will survive most accidents. The safety glass will break into small pieces. The steering column will collapse if the impact is severe enough. The crumple tubes can absorb a considerable amount of frontal impact. The fuel tank is built like a fuel cell and is in a protected area of the frame. All in all it would seem like the car is built for safety. The biggest concern I have when driving my "D" is that on today's roads with the great number of SUV's if I were to be in an accident I would probably wind up on the bottom(right side up but still on the bottom) not a very survivable position. The rescuers would get the people on top of me out first and then see if there was anything left alive underneath. I have also noticed that as a stainless car in some conditions it seems invisible. On many occasions driving with other "D"s I have seen drivers change lanes and do other crazy things as if they just don't see the car. Maybe since the car is so low they don't even see it in the mirrors? David Teitelbaum vin 10757
