>Unsafe at any speed (readers digest), was written about a dentist that was caught in the fog on the NJ Turnpike, one of the worst accidents on the NJ Turnpike ever. Buy they was the dentist still lives on. Ask my why I know about this? He was my dentist and next door neighbor at the time of the accident and I remember this story well. Thank god for BIG cars

This is what I was referring to (as one example):

The truth is, these cars suffered a combination of probably well-intentioned, but misguided negative press at the hands of Ralph Nader in one chapter of his book "Unsafe at Any Speed". Truth is, that book helped keep the car in production far longer than GM planned ..."
