This I strongly doubt. If you saw the old 60 Minutes skit on roll-over
M151's they didn't bother with facts at all, just made the roll-over case
sound the way they wanted it to, ending the CJ-5 series. Granted, they
have a great ability to create public image but how can you "control" it
and be sre they don't suck up the Fed's BS line that these are dangerous
vehicles?
The concept is good but lots of work must be done before. You'll need
good arguments and facts to counter the governments current excuses for
not allowing vehicles released; "rollover" danger, lack of DOT
approval... It can be done but all the homework should be prepared first.
