I had a Ford Pinto back in the early 80s when all of the hubbub came
out about their vulnerability to rear-impact ignition. Stopped by a
local truck dealer who builds petroleum tankers and got a large, red
bumper sticker with white lettering that said 'FLAMMABLE' and
plastered it across the back panel of the car. Kept most of the
tailgaters at a respectable distance.

I was more concerned with keeping it on the road in snowstorms. It had
a bad habit of the rear wheels trying to catch up with the front.
