I fully agree about the airbags!  I live in the mountains, and it's not the
First Impact I worry about, which is all the airbags are good for.  I want all
the chance I can get to maneuver, and I certainly don't want to be blinded at
the first tap. (nor startled by the BANG). Of course, I also dislike
the "passive" seatbelts that are always in the way when you get in, but have
no waist belt for real protection (only a shoulder harness and knee pads).  I
think the move to requiring seat belts in all cars was a good one, and the
adjustable waist/shoulder combination is good (the ones which don't need an
impact to test).  Why coudn't they stop there?  Oh, well.
