    What did the T/A's and Camaros have in regards to shutting the fuel pump down in case of accident or overturning and what do the trucks with stock engines have in this regard? I'm kind of concerned that if I'm in an accident that I could go up in a fireball ! I had a Thunderbird years ago and had a blowout and that actually tripped the fuel pump shut off switch . There was a handle in the trunk you had to throw and then the car started right up . Thanks and adios!

    LMAO! No , nothing that bad but it's the female sector of the populace that have the GD phones glued to the sides of their heads that scare me ! Have any of you noticed , and not to be discriminatory , but women really are worse than men when it comes to driving and using the cell phones? This isn't to say that some men aren't terrible at this but I'm talking about averages here . I had a woman about a month ago driving without her headlights on so I flashed her . Not only did she not turn them on , she came right into my lane head-on ! I had to swerve into the other lane to avoid her . Now , if someone had been there ,Iwould have been in an accident and she never would have been involved . She was , or course , on the phone . I suspect that this particular conversation probably began at her house and just continued on to wherever she was headed and because she was on the phone didn't remember to turn her damned lights on . I turned around , I was so mad , and called the cops on my phone . She stopped at a house about a mile up and I told them where she was . I hope they put her ass in jail ! Anyway , you never know what some other moron is going to do and this is why I always where my seatbelt. Such incidents are the reason I'm thinking of purchasing a real beater pickup - just so I could have sideswiped this broad and not have to worry about fixing anything . Wouldn't that be fun ?!

    Whooa, relax partner. No disrespect but, man you can&#39;t go around worrying about what&#39;s gonna happen if your car flips and burst into flames. I used to be like that, driving down the road honestly scared to death that I was gonna have a wreck and thinking about what would happen if a car pulled out in front of me and picturing in my mind how I would fly through the winshield and skip across the pavement and stuff. It was awful. I was scared to drive or ride my motorcycle (although I forced myself to do both). Turns out I needed some anti-depressants. Life wasn&#39;t meant to be lived in fear, you can&#39;t go around worrying about that stuff or it&#39;ll eat you up.



    But to answer your question, I have no idea.
