The biggest threat to the safety of my VW was the morons in other small cars who were constantly pulling in front of me. In thirty miles a day of rush hour driving, there would typicly be three or four events requiring action on my part (usually braking, but also swerving, etc.) to avoid damage to my car and/or self. These were typicly small cars; vary rarely the boats. In the two months that I've been driving my Impala, this has happened four (4) times, plus a couple of times requiring mild decelleration. For some reason, I get the idea that they really were looking. A couple of tons of steel seems to put the fear of God (and Chevy :-) into men. rick Go ahead, Datsun. . . .
