OT. Jeep fuel tanks
Fiat-Chrysler is recalling some Jeeps. The 93-98 Grand Cherokee and the 2002-2007 Liberty. They met safety standards when built. From Autoblog: http://tinyurl.com/q7qptd3 My memory goes back to the Ford Pinto fires and the recalls of the mid 70s Chevy pickups. I think the Chevy recalls involved an extra thousand dollar rebate on trade for a new one. -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |

They told him it wasn't for towing , but to protect the tank . But now he can pull his small boat down to the river ... -- Snag |

The boy's first vehicle , he's thrilled . -- Snag |
