I know one thing, my first MM saved my life, and I bought another one to replace it. Panther Safety is #1 out there.

Look at this freakin car....videos at the bottom of the page.

My panther saved me, too. It survived and carried enough value to not be totalled. The BRAND NEW ext cab Silverado I hit WAS totalled.

Hail to the last American body-on-frame sedan!! :bows:

The crash test reminds me of the 99-03 style supercab F150 that the IIHS tested.

Yep, and thanks to NAFTA and the crooks who implemented it, Chinese cars and trucks will be all over our roads by 2009. I think I will stick to the big 4 door M-ride until it rusts out from under me.

china has nothing to do with NAFTA. The deal that made China a 'most favoured trading nation' is another issue all together

Either way: In both cases, it was Clinton who did it.

If you guys love that, you'll love this! Look at the crappy frame that's on the new "Great" Tundra compared to the awesome box frame on the F-150's. http://blip.tv/file/250121?filename=Cardatavideo-FordF150VsToyotaTundraFrameStr ength435.wmv

it looks like the fire was only outside the car, and was almost out by the end of the 6 second video. I have seen many pictures of wrecked police cars hit as fast as 70-80 MPH without fire. If I can find them I will post them.

China is building a 300 million dollar truck assembly plant in Tijuana, Mexico and exporting them to the U.S. via Mexico, which IS parrt of NAFTA, and skirting the 25% tariff imposed on directly importing vehicles from China. I apologize for not getting crazy technical. Anyway, Mexico makes money, China makes money, and we, the U.S., get screwed yet again.
