Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Move over Nissan Altima, you mean. Altima in the 10's were catching on fire if hit in the trunk area.
The popular police cruiser Crown Victoria was also a bomb on wheels because the fuel tanks were in the back and unprotected.

Never heard of that one. Guess not too many people were stupid enuf to rear end a cop.
It turns a two star chase into a four star chase immidiately.
Same with the jeep liberty. They hall have trailer hitches as a quick fix to protect the tank.
Oh crap... No wonder my family car didn't last long.
You can set me on fire by hitting me in the trunk area baby
