New Statistic Recognized;
Automobile Suicide Rate (ASR) - CoverUps.com

When many brush off car crashes as just accidents, evidence is increasing that is just isn't so. The AARF (Automobile Accident Research Facility) which has been in existence for over eighty years, just recently gained recognition for one of their lesser known departments. This department specializes in the field of intentional accidents. Not by the driver, but by the car.

Driver Maggie Shembre of Detroit is very uneasy about these new findings. "Just when we thought it was getting safer to drive with all these new safety features like airbags and better built cars, we have this thrown at us!"

Others aren't so concerned. They still think that car versus car accidents are not that much to worry about.

What I don't like is driving around in my sedan on the same roads as these monster Hummers!" The AARF have not found evidence of car vs. car incidents. Dr. John Jay recently published that in a significant amount of crashes the driver was found not be at fault. This lead to some fingers being point at the car makers. Some say this was the real reason for companies moving overseas, and not to seek higher profits.

"These claims are just absurd! Our cars are soundly made and our intentions are merely to provide the consumers with a more affordable vehicle," said Steve Hallock of General Motors to our staff at CoverUps.com.

The AARF found that many incidents like this one just don't make sense. There was no likely reason why this person was found run off the road. The driver claimed innocent of distractions or careless driving.

These allegations of cars intentionally causing accidents could be very harmful to the economy. Not only will people possibly put the entire industry out of businesses, but businesses that sell bumper stickers, car stereos, fuzzy dice, and air fresheners will go under as well. For places like Kragen, it could be disasterous.

"I don't think that consumers will respond that harshly to our new findings, but they definitely need to know to make a wise decision in what car they will buy. Some cars, are more prone to this than others," says Dr. Jay. He revealed to us that it was mostly foreign cars that had the lowest ASR with the exception of Hyundai and Volvos.

More and more often are cars found in this state. Whether from owner abuse like gear grinding or 6k mile oil changes, these cars seem to be desperate. They seem to prefer the wrecking yard.

The most autos with the highest ASR were Fords (possibly from ridicule of being unreliable) and Saturns (being made of plastic). When told of these findings, Saturn executive Sandra Emmon was very perplexed. "I just don't understand it, they've got dent resistent doors. You just are not going to mess up that rust-free body. I am honestly shocked." Ford declined to talk to comment.

Like pets before them, cars might really start getting more emotional aUttention from their owners. But others just might decide to play it safe and ride the bus.
