I had a Plymouth Reliant K car as a company car while doing field service work for an X-ray company. Worst car I have ever had the misfortune to drive. I changed my route to several hospitals that I serviced equipment in. I could not safely cross intersections on the shortest route there. After a couple of close calls, I timed the car for getting the rear of the car across the centerline of the highway that I needed to cross. It took 2 1/2 seconds for that car to clear the centerline of the highway. Traffic on the highway would be in the intersection in 2 seconds from when you could first see them if they were doing the speed limit. I do not think you could pay me enough to drive one of those dogs today.
