I still get stuff every once in a while about a settlement from GM for the
'73-87s from what I remember they were going to give me $1000 off on a
brand new pickup... so all I needs another $35,000 and I'll be able to take
advantage of that!! I was never worried about the tanks being on the side
other than its a real pain in the ass to fill them

It sure helped that NBC used those igniters to make sure the fuel
leaks caught fire. :-/
