Right now atthe end of the month I have problems affording a box of Kraft Dinner. If I were to do that I would need the srvice soon as I would starve to death. $100/ month is what I spend on food a month. And I am talking Canadian $. In American $ that would be about $140/month for insurance. > > We all seem to have an "I'm immortal" meme in our 20s and early 30s.

That is 100% death rate for those who die, which is probably quite a bit less than 1% of people my age. Then multiply that by the odds of the suspension being good enough and it become a value judgement about how much the effect on your present quality of life is worth compared to the very small chance of needing suspension and it being good enough to have any value. Right now that judgement has to go towards present quality of life. ------------------------------------------------ Brett Corlett Faculty of Engineering, Carleton University Suspension and Steering Team Leader, Formula SAE Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=10092
