Beware what you wish for, it might come true.
"The Ford Crown Victoria has not been redesigned since 1979. It is the only new car on the road today whose design is that old. The design flaw is that the gas tank is in back of the axle. In 1968, a University of California at Los Angeles study showed that the tank should not be located behind the rear axle. Later research determined that it should be placed forward of the axle as in the Ford Taurus. The only major cars which still have the "exploding gas tank" design are the Ford Mustang and the Panther. This is the same problem that Ford had with the Ford Pinto -- only more people have been killed in the CVPI than the Pinto.
Another design flaw is the sharp hex bolt located on the rear axle. In a high speed collision, it is the bolt that can puncture the gas tank, which leads to the tank exploding."

OH my G. No, don't tell me I have been beaten by a relative of Ned Kelly!
"Now there is a place at the back of Burke
Where all the bush blokes go to lurk
The sheilas think they're just bludgers
They're playing two up, silly buggers.
Just back of beyond the billabong
Somewhere down near the 'Gong'
We hear the chooks going crazy
Laying bum nuts there by a daisy
Geezz it's enough to make ya chunder
That there is a land down under."
Please, no, not from OZ. Oh, how cruel life can be.
