I've been pinned in in a little 'car'(S10) before, enough of that for me. I'll pay the extra cost to drive a big truck or I'll ride my bike, I either have good enough brakes/suspension to avoid an accident or I grease the road and die...no more of this half alive, pinned in a tin can garbage for me! I'm enjoying the 42-46mpg, I could either get in a metro or jump on this...and it's far more appealing to the ladyfolk
