[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2186585, member: 12508"] Post the link. I recall that it would have cost Ford less than $50 per vehicle to correct the problem at the factory. Instead, it cost them millions after all of the horrible accidents. Ford calculated the costs to pay claims to be less than fixing the cars, hoping that they wouldn't get discovered. Ford knew the Pinto tanks were defective, and extensively crash-tested them in secret, verifying the problem was real and not an anomaly. The study you reference was part of the memo, so you're massaging the story to fit your narrative. It seems obvious that Ford executives were meant to read between the lines instead of delivering a "smoking gun" directive that fingered the Pinto specifically. This was in every large newspaper, and the Grimshaw case was a huge award for the day. Anyway, good deflection, but now back to Boris and Vladimir driving for 2 days straight over at Ground. When will Ground have it's "Orland"? Hopefully, never, but they need to be stopped before the inevitable occurs. [/QUOTE]
