Dennis:

People who are highly successful at one thing think they are good at  
everything. Just because some "mattress importer' makes a few million  
flogging boxsprings that don't make him Juan Fangio. As I see it the  
problem is compounded by mandatory airbags and seat belts. Back in  
the day these crash-prone cretins would have spun their Volkswagen  
Beetle over a cliff or whipped the rear end of their Pinto into the  
wall and toasted themselves to oblivion - KA-BLAMMO! - long before  
they had accumulated enough filthy lucre to afford to trash a  
decently powered gentleman's car.
