  9. @1loafofmeat One thing that still gets me is how Ford decided to reinforce only the driver's side of the #Ford #Escape. It failed horribly on the overlap test when the #IIHS pulled a surprise(!) and decided to start testing the passenger side too. Like your loved one sitting on the passenger side is not as important?
