The explorers had warnings too!

Do Supras carry a warning about losing a targa top on the interstate?

i was thinking of this the whole time i was reading the thread but when i finally came across it it took me a second to remember the main character had no name...

Hush you. They should come with a warning for stupid owners, because that's the only way a top could come off.

I'm a perfect example, aren't I?

That won't make things any better for anyone.

I think I'm gonna buy some Ford stock so when they try to buy it all back to go private I can make a little money off of them.

I don't not hate the alcohol and tabacco companies. And yes, everyone knows the effects of alcohol and tabacco. If they don't, they can't read or don't watch television. However, those driving the Ford's had no clue their vehicles were going to kill them.

And yes, I know there was a time when alcohol and tabacco did not carry warnings and the products were pushed at people...

They knew just as much as the people that have wrecked in every other dangerous vehicle we have all posted.

Pintos? The owners should have known that their car would explode?
