Yep, Car Safety

From the Green Bay Press

First, we hope this poor soul is now in heaven.

Second, seems like a small car or van to me!

Third, wear your seat belts!

Fourth, I sure feel safer in a bigger car, or SUV.

I can't wait when the first SMART car gets run over by a semi. Sure, the libs will tell us what cars we can drive and this is what's going to happen. Today it's ethanol, tomorrow size of your car. Go Figure! More government mandates coming down the pipe! Pepsi Max- "WAKE UP PEOPLE!"
