Talk about problems with modern cars, did you hear about the Chevrolet Cobalt? Seems the ignition switch could move to accessory by itself causing immediate shutdown, even if you were on the freeway. 124 deaths and 200 injuries.
I heard the Kia models have a problem with rodents eating the soy-based wiring.
My 94 Ranger has used oil since it was brand new! BUT, it never smoked and I saw no leaks. It was burning it up in the catalytic converter. I had to wash out the converter every so often and if that didn't work have to buy a new one! One time I paid these crooked Mexicans at an emissions center to "push it thru."
Commercial vehicles here (GA.) are required to carry a fire extinguisher. Probably not a bad idea for private vehicles to carry one too.
Not only does Doraville not have a fire department, many areas don't have sidewalks.
