Paul, Tell your wife not to worry. Fire, for all practical purposes, is not a factor in automobile crashes (there is no such thing as an 'accident' - prevention works). In all traffic crashes combine

Paul, I would say anything is possible, but chances are actually very slim of a Spitfire "going Pinto" on you. ;-) I still have the remains of a 1973 Spitfire that was HEAVILY rear-ended in 1985. To
