I'm still trying to figure out the big fuss over at GM with the
recall of millions of cars. From what I can see, there were 30
accidents and 6 deaths because the ignition switch turned the car
off and apparently people can no longer deal with that. How many
cars have all kinds of failures everyday that results
in the engine quitting? Like running out of gas? But 30 ignition
switches shutoff and the result is death and destruction?

One thing I did not see, does it also lock up the steering wheel? IIRC
you are in NJ. Picture the Garden State Parkway, 8 AM, at 75 mph and
you are in the middle lane when the engine dies and steering wheel locks
up. I don't want to be behind you on a curve.
