Mitsubishi Mirage heads list of most dangerous vehicles - BUT . . .

I feel like I'm playing "operator" reporting on a Jalopnik article reporting on an iseecars.com study identifying the most dangerous 14 car models on the road in terms of risk of highway fatalities. 

Per this study, the Mitsubishi Mirage has a rate of 10.2 fatalities for every billion passenger miles traveled. The same study calculated the average vehicle at  2.6 fatalities over the same period, so the Mirage was almost four times more dangerous than average by these numbers.

Let's convert these numbers to something more tangible. In the Mirage.  you can expect to be involved in a fatal accident once every 10 hundred million miles.  If you drive on average 35 miles per hour (figuring stopped time etc), that's once every 2,900,000 hours. There are 8766 hours in a year.  Let's call it 88000.  2,900,000/8800 = 329.5.  So if you drove a mitsubishi mirage nonstop for 329 years, you can expect it to result in your death. 

I have no idea what this means, but buckle up and be safe out there.

    investing in oil and gas has and is still making a lot of people " very RICH". Investors in oil and gas are getting rich daily. All you need is a secured and certified strategy that will keep your invested capital safe by opting out with no withdrawer crunch. A considerable number of investors worldwide have seen gains of 75,063%, personally I have made over 600%. For example I started investing with $1,000 and I made $3,000, $3,500- $5,000 weekly. Last year at the start of the year, I increased my invested capital to $10,000 and I made approximately $105,000 before the end of year. I've never seen profit opportunities like this before in any market even when other traders complain of losses. Now for the doubters, not only is it possible, it's actually happening right now. All you need is a good and secured strategy, a good investment platform, Appetite and market conditions.
