  According to my neighbor who works for Failure Analysis Associates (they are
  the ones who found the incendiary devices used to get the pickup to "light"
  up on television) the safety record of the GM pickups with sidesaddle tanks
  is quite good and does not deviate from the type of fatality rate and 
  incidence of fire seen in other pickup trucks. Although I am not a big fan
  of GM or their products, the scent I detect is that of P.I. lawyers after
  big bucks. Flame off too.
