 @872ab8e1 I thought those were a bunch of cock rings at first. LOL

 @872ab8e1 Appreciate the article but not the tone in this paragraph.

Kind of shows you've an agenda (similar to what you're accusing others of having)

In addition, to me, the more useful metric is the ratio of ICE fires v ICE cars on the road and EV fires v EV cars on the road.

If I have an EV or ICE car what is the change of it catching fire.
