REFLECTOR: Engine failure

[Scott Derrick]

Ron,

If your one ignition source did fail on your Pickumup truck, how much 
easier is it to pull over to the side of the road than it is for Dave to 
off field land his Velocity?  Much chance of you and your passengers 
being killed by pulling off to the side of the road, vs an off field 
landing over hostile terrain?

Everythings relative.

Scott
