108. Bullsh*t
We're talking about 77 cars. Ford accepted the liability on the Ranger EV's they sold to owners for a $1 after the Raboy/Kortoff sit-in in Sacramento in January.

GM has settled much bigger product liability lawsuits than would ever be generated by a handful of EV1s. And all the potential 88 people who pledged to pay GM $25K apiece for the cars also agreed to absolve GM of all liability, just as the Ford protesters did.

Ford listened and did the right thing. GM just ignored 28 days of round-the-clock vigils and an offer of $1.9 million.
