Yes Wally, great week for the ol'dove. We should start getting a steady flow of good news to propel its price over 20. I did not catch the NHTSA (national highway traffic safety administrations proposal out on the 9th. in reference to the SUV's. The fastest growing car segment. "Tough Rollover-Warning Labels Proposed" "Sport utility vehicles have the highest rollover-related occupant fatality rate --- double the average for all vehicle types" said NHTSA Administrator Ricardo Martinez. There are 98 rollovers per 1MM SUVs each year compared to 47 per 1MM for all vehicles. The Bright yellow labels with the words "Warning: High Risk of rollovers" will be required on models as the Chevy Blazer and the Chrysler Jeep Cherokee. It would not be required on vehicles with a wheel base larger than 110 inches, such as the Ford Expedition or GM Suburban. SMU's ITS does an incredible job protecting occupants from rollovers. It helps anchor the person in its place from multiple hits as occurs in a rollover and secondary side hits, something the side airbag does not do as it only deploys once and becomes instantly ineffective.
