The horse is more cute? than the car, and more of a care free drive than the car. The car got jealous about this and started murdering people. To make it look like an accident, it waited for a rear crash.

Most of the fires ...
Most of the fires occurred on highways and surface streets,? not when someone ran their Pinto into a wall.
Because it wasn't ...
Because it wasn't the Pinto drivers' faults that their gas tanks would explode, covering the car's interior in burning fuel. It was a faulty, unsafe design that caused so many deaths. Additionally,? the gas tanks only exploded, and not in the typical movie-type sense, when the car was hit from behind with some force, which meant someone else's bad driving caused the problem.
u guys are wankers. ...
u guys are wankers. cars dont explode unless there is a bomb in this case it was releasing fuel which ignited causing flames not? explosions, if u wanks knew how to drive there wouldnt be any deaths, and if u were that worried about being rear ended then y u dont wear seatbelts and othe safety devices that were around in the 70s I still think it was a s**t desighn but hey if you crash into a wall doing 100 y would you think it was the cars fault you died
dumbass

i owned? one and well yets say my wifes in a wheel chair
The issue was the ...
The issue was the filler pipe separated from the fuel tank upon a hard collision, instead of from the body of the car resulting, the fuel draining out and igniting.
You have to recall the time, the gas crisis was ongoing in 1973 and many were puting locking gas caps on their cars which aggravated the situation.
Never figured out how the hard plastic shield between the rear axle and tank helped anything.
Btw, a mallory? unilite, MSD and heavy duty front springs were the ticket.
Rgardless of the ...
Rgardless of the fiiiiix, public image had been shttered so they could have made the Pinto a perfect car and no one would have bought it so they took the tech of a Pinto and placed? in it other cars people drove.

@happyfeet19942008 ...
@happyfeet19942008 Is that the story? I always heard that they commenced a risk analysis for the cost of reducing fatality's from gas tank punctures and concurred that it was cheaper to pay up to the lawsuits than put a 15 dollar piece of plastic as a buffer zone because it? would eventually cost them more than to pay off people.
Yes but it makes ...
Yes but it makes sense that if the rear is hit hard enough, gas can leak all over the road, and then ignite from something superfluous like sparks from a dangling? bumper.
