Mike,

That's exactly what I was suggesting. Not adding crumple zones or massive intrusion beams,
but diverting the front wheels outboard, in the event of a front end collision.
In theory, that would give you a couple of more feet of
crunch zone, before anything began pushing on the tanks.
Granted, there's not much in that crunch zone to slow things down,
just curious if anybody had an opinion as to whether that would make a positive or
negative influence on fire potential.
