Yes, I imagine the 9000 is a pretty safe car. But my point was that the criteria people use to judge safety bear scrutiny. Don't just take someone's "real world data" as proof, because it isn't. You have to consider the kind of data you're looking at, and whether they properly measure the variable in which you're interested. -- Matthew DeBell mdnopsamnet
