[Prange]

Ford has to pay for a design flaw that caused the car to ignite into flames.

But Tesla gets a pass,right?

Well, it does have a few Pinto genes.

A good lawyer could find flaws in every vehicle. My thought is there was more money going after ford

Design flaw?
Read the story… A truck smashed into the door hinges and the door wouldn’t open… Apparently the brake fluid reservoir broke and caught fire. Interesting set of circumstances in this payout.

Ford may win on appeal.

Sorry but I don’t think you can idiot proof against all possible scenarios for accidents. All about the money.

And the girl that hit her, driving the truck, only 1% at fault.

I was being sarcastic about the "design flaw".

Remember the old lady that spilled the McDonalds coffee in her lap? I remember the award got reduced and there was a settlement.

It's all about the money, to be sure.

@Prange - I know, I was really criticizing the story like you were.

J T, no offense taken.

I'm always stymied by the fact that I can't express a tone of voice in print. I'm not a great writer.

You and me both brotha.
