I mean Ford Pinto. At least a Pinto needed a hard rear end collision to burst into flames, these tings go up in smoke in water.

They're blaming the problem on salt water and salt does lower water's resistance. Well if the problem really is salt water, what happens when you drive it during/after a snow storm and the road is covered in salt?

And any kid that has taken HS science class knows that only pure water is a good insulator, and that is very hard to find in nature, especially lying on the ground.

I remember the old joke about being stuck in a traffic jam in a Pinto, and seeing an Audi pull up behind you. You knew you were about to die a fiery death.
