In article , ant wrote: that's what you get for going on a tabloid TV show. Television is easy. If that's not what you want to say, then don't ****ing say that. Simple. -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." Excuse he was sandbagged. It is like accounting what number do you want it to equal? You spend an excessive amount of time to give the news reporter your version. What do you get with editing you look like your the worst despot from some small african regime. It started out as a fluff piece and they turned it into a propaganda film made by Leni Riefentahl. We must get rid of the rats that are over running the world! |

... "Richard Henry" wrote in news:42najjF1k28kqU1 @individual.net: Are you saying the CBS invented the exploding Pinto? No, I got Dateline and 60 Minutes mixed up. Dateline rigged a gas tank on a GM pickup. And you also got GM and FOrd mixed up. 60 Minutes rigged the transmission on an Audi 5000 to illustrate an unintended acceleration problem after they couldn't actually get the car do it. OK, so you got GM and Ford and Audi and Dateline and 60 Minutes and NBC and CBS mixed up. Isn't this thread about the dangers of drinking while, ummmm, recreating? |

A: Behind a Pinto, in front of an Audi, and next to a Samurai. -klaus |

Small, not strong on the freeway but it could climb telephone poles. I'm still keeping my eyes open for a clean one so I can do some off-road mods. http://kaos4x4.com.au/pages/suzuki/sierra.htm These blokes service my Suzuki, and I've seen most of these monsters "in the metal". We call them sierras. -- ant |

My son rolled a Geo Tracker, the first generation after the Samurai. A former employer's son was killed in a Jeep CJ roll over. Tall, narrow, short wheelbase = easy roll over. |

The real question here is, what would a hung-over Bode Miller do behind the wheel of a reconfigured Suzuki Samurai the morning after winning the overall World Cup? (and one hopes the answer is: abandon the sorry POS and get a real vehicle) |

A former employer's son was killed in a Jeep CJ roll over. Tall, narrow, short wheelbase = easy roll over. The Geo Tracker is a Suzuki Vitara, and it's not narrow at all. It's almost square, in fact. Gives it horrible axle hop, due to short wheel base and tight suspension, but it's not particularly tall and it sure ain't narrow. They will go over though if you hit a bump at high speed. That's the axle hop. There's a pic on that site of someone jumping a vitara at a beach. It's getting some good air. -- ant |
