That looks great, I'll try to find that, thanks!

And Captain, it's actually much safer than you would think.  It's made from a composite body structure that lighter than steel but three times as strong.  It's similar to the cockpits they build for formula one cars.   It also has all of the airbags that other new cars have.  You can never totally make up for a large difference in weight in an accident, but most injuries are caused by some sort of collapse or deformation of the passenger cell, and this thing will not collapse.
