the pinto rear end explosions was later proven to be a stunt by abc news for ratings and discredited. My mom was in a pinto and hit in all 4 qudrants during an accident(front, drivers side, pass side and rear)..her rear decklid was inside her backseat..no fire in her car.

Please check again, the "rigged" fires involved Chevy pickup trucks with side saddle gas tanks.
I believe also it was NBC who did it and, apart from paying a bucket load of GM's legal costs, there were a few NBC staffers who were unemployed after that.
The "explosion" was set off with a radio controlled incendiary device.
The close up of the "fire" as shown on TV looked dramatic, the footage the public did not see was shot from further away and the fire was so insignificant the the on-site fire chief said "What are we supposed to do - stomp it out?"
That time our "sensationalist media" got caught. I wonder how many times they have not!
