Airbags????
One went off in my '14 Stang when I hit the deer and I didn't even realize it went off until I got out of the car with white powder all over me. That bag was about the size of a large man's hand and would have never helped me.

Lucky it wasn't one of the recalled ones in a 'humid' state. You could have survived the crash, but the metal shards could have cut your head off! Looks like someone put a shrapnel bomb in the steering wheel. oops! That can't look good on a resume.

I thought Massive Airbag was my last employer.

The real problem is that the air bags sit on both sides of the aisle.
Maybe the numbers are too close on both sides but when it comes to volume per bag the Libs have got it hands down. You just can not recall all the airbags. Some may require a tranquilizer dart. Check the link below to see what I mean. This one deserves to be made into a movie. "There's no more room in the Cuckoo nest". BTW This has gone viral on the Net. LOL

I wonder how long they had to rehearse the part with the signs and group chant.

About lunch time think I'll have a ham sandwich.

Does it bother anyone else that we're recalling 10-15 year old cars. The exploding airbag could be serious, I get that, but I see a lot of recalls that IMO should be nothing more than normal wear and aging.

BTW, I think it's been pointed out that Elio has 2 airbag suppliers on their partner list.
