tire had gained it's own reputation for, to use a bit of understatement, being just a bit sub optimal for safety. They were
standard equipment on the sportier models of most US car manufactures. This was also at the time there seemed to be

reverse while the car was idling. (It was just lucky that the Pinto had a floor mounted shifter).
By the way that should have read ".. did you _live_ truly dangerously..."
