KIA Powerwagon???:

“Maybe because Ford thinks EVs and digital sales go together?”

I did not know that! Thanks!

4 inches (or less) created the demand for the taller hoods in the first place.

Exactly, some Altima is going to cut it off. 

Who needs spot welds, just advertise it as half off on Craigslist.   

1.5 psi difference in the ballast tanks 

Seriously, I’m done trying to converse with this bozo, NBM343 is clearly bound and determined to spend the holiday season shouting at the clouds about some imagined conspiracy/impending doom so I’ll just leave him/her to it.

What in the third circle of dueling banjo monkey hell was that sentence even supposed to mean?
You aren’t even a good troll, dude.
Literally no one has jumped to your defense, but it is everyone else that is wrong? Look, I can’t help what you think you heard or understood; that’s between you and your God. I can be…

If by “bought the stats hook line and sinker” you mean “considered the actual data points and came to a rational conclusion that doing a massive recall for an absolutely tiny risk is not logical” then yes I most certainly did.

What part of 1 death and 7 injuries in 13 years are you missing?  

1 incident in 33 years is absurdly low to trigger 50 million replacements.

Completely agree! The acceptable rate of deaths before airbags was? Then they are invented and have saved countless lives, but it’s not perfect so lets recall all of them, which in 10 years may prove to have the same “fault” rate. Come on! They are already saving lives. Put your damn phones down and even more would be…

Neither of those sentences accurately reflect reality.

If I apply my numbers to your example, there is little risk of death in driving 20,000 cars to their recall appointment at the dealer. The 1 potential death of not fixing is greater than the 0.005 potential death from normal accidents, so they should fix it. But in the article, it says 55 million cars are involved,…

Dude....
Absolutely not what I said.
Absolutely not what he said.

It is like trying to have a discussion with drunk uncle on Thanksgiving...

There’s a big gap between 1 in the next 33 years, and 1000 per year. Do you think the reasonable number might be somewhere in the middle? Nothing made by man is ever perfect, and spending billions to stop one death might be a bit much.

“No one is saying that everything should be perfect”
Andy is...

“I understand that it be a very small amount of people being maimed or killed by these airbag inflators, but shouldn’t the ideal number of people you’re killing be, I don’t know, zero?”
Nope.
Not at one rupture in 33 years.
As cold as it sounds, the cost of making it perfect would eliminate driving for most people.

I found it, and started to dig in. Holy cow!
