pretty much... but the new design looks to me like it is MORE likely to intrude into the drivers head

will you be in the new Richie Cunningham movie???

Ron Howard is presently shooting movie about the 1976 F1 title chase...should be a good one...Russell Crowe is cast as Richard Burton- wonder if they’ll act out the scene where James Hunt sold his wife to Richard Burton for $1million....

Okay, forgive my ignorance. Is this the product of a particular incident/injury, or near incident injury? I am trying to recall where someone’s nose nearly got into the cockpit of another. I know not all of these changes have to be the result of a wreck, just wondering.
