The web can be a very is a powerful tool to get a point across – especially on a grass roots level. Back in December of 2002 I posted something on my personal weblog comparing the complete failure of the F150 in a recent crash test and how it compared to the just released ranking of the new MINI. I had always heard the (at the time current) F150 had horrible crash test ratings but never really took a look at the pictures. When I did I was so taken a back that I figured I had to let others know about this. Of course this was about the same time the IISH released crash testing data on the MINI. Well the lightbulb went on – what better way to demonstrate the failure of the Ford F150 than to compare it to the success of the MINI!

Over the course of a year and a half that single post has garnered more attention than all the rest of my personal blog combined. And lately the hit level has gone through the roof due to hundreds of weblogs linking to it. So I figured it was finally time to post about it on MotoringFile.

So here it is: Crash Testing: MINI Cooper vs Ford F150. BTW the comments are really fascinating. Enjoy.
