How does this relate to a Camaro as a life saving device you ask? Keep reading.

A properly sealed car (doors shut, windows up, etc) can provide safe harbor, but why? Most people think it's the tires, and that is incorrect (says the documentary, surprisingly, I have no personal research to back this up). It's actually the metal frame which redirects the current around you, providing you are NOT touching any of the car's metal parts.

So, for every one of you that have complained that the cabin is, and I quote, "too plasticy" I say to you SHUSH! That very detail could prevent you from becoming a crispy critter.

I spent the whole time reading this wondering what it had to do with lighting... amazing what one letter can do for ya. lol

electricity takes the path of least resistance.........which is the outside metal frame of the car and NOT into your body touching the metal.

I edited the original post. I'll have you know that I am spell checker baby. I didn't get any red underlined word there. I will also have you know that I had to read your post 3 times to catch it. Yes, even with the 80 pt bold font. Oh and I was tired, cramped, and other excuses as well.

Yeah! So there!
