Yes, well the 100Q maybe the best according National Board of Highway 
safety. Anyway, do you know how they test those things there? Head on 
collision with a concrete cube at 30 MPH. Now, how real is that? And 
dumies never seemed to even closely represent real humans. I bet that 
from 100 years that Germans  were making cars, they learned a few tricks 
on how to save people in real accidents and not simulated ones! 
Oh, and by the way, poeple at Board of Highway safety look a lot more 
like green toads from Mars than anybody else, don't you watch Head Line 
News these days? At least in their tests they never found that Saturns 
seem to have this tendency to explode in severe front offset collision 
until somebody filed a law suit! 

So maybe '89 100Q did produce the most laughs on Mars? I wouldn't know!
