Safety?

Horse Feathers.

Safety is directly proportional to the sanity of the loose nut behind the
wheel. An M151 driven with some regard to its limits is far safer than the
most over-engineered Volvo or Mercedes.

The "economy" is the more logical reason, but, frankly, there'd be a fairly
small market for most MVs if they were dumped on the market wholesale:
they're not sporty, they're not sexy, and they're not respectable. (That we
think otherwise just makes us suspect, being a bunch of camo-wearing
nut-cases, anyway).

Sorry; this is one of my pet peeves . . . .

BTW, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
