Unfortunately I do remember that issue with the Pinto . I came on an accident in Augusta , GA shortly after it happened .... a Pinto was rear ended as it was trying to merge onto the express way and caught fire . I can still see the two bodies in the back seat with the car on fire and the emergency workers unable to do anything about it . Later , the news said two children died in the fire .
As far as I`m concerned , whoever made the decision to not properly shield the gas tank should be put in the back seat of a Pinto and have the car rear ended !
