Does anyone ever wonder why cars don't have vent windows in the front doors anymore? That can be traced back to just such a scenario, where a driver died after wrecking a car with huge rust holes in the floorboard (and the exhaust system) while driving with his vent windows opened a little and all the other windows closed. The suction created by the vents pulled in enough carbon monoxide to make the driver pass out and wreck. His family sued General Motors and won a huge settlement, regardless of the condition of the car. The CEO of GM declared that from that day forward, no GM car would have vent windows. Other manufacturers followed suit. That's how ridiculous things can get when an ambulance chaser gives a jury a good sob story! The accountants operate on the "once burned- - - -twice shy" concept.
