  1. Yeah the fireball thing was primarily media hype just like this lousy vid. I did a research project on the fuel tank situation for a Mech. Engineering class, a lot of interesting things involved but overall it wasn't particularly bad, for it's day, even before the trivial recall mod.

  2. Pintos that burned were rear ended so hard you'd want to die anyway. Not bothering with more than 1 min of this old hype, did an engineering presentation on this issue for college class and my first car was a '73 Pinto. Was a $3k car and OK for it's day.
