Losing the airbag??? why???
« on: 23 April 2004, 22:53 »
Why do people change their airbag installed steering wheel for one of those Momo/Sparco etc steering wheels?

Obviously u mk1/2 boys and girls dont have an airbag so ur excused, but people with mk3/4/5 change their steering wheels for ones without airbags so it looks better.. personally "id" rather look better after sum1 decides to crash into me!

baffles me to risk ya safety for a fancy looking steering wheel....  ??? ::)

air bags dont save you.... they bust you up!

there is no need or an air bag if you have your seat belt on.........

not sure why people go for momo sterring wheels either. racing cars (and old f1 cars) used to have bare steering wheels and i think they look sh!te.

the only reason to have an airbag if your wearing a seat belt is to smash you in the face.

put it this way, you'll be in so much pain from the airbag, regardless of the accident - you'll have a psycho scare for the rest of your life and will drive like a saint in fear of being whalloped again. "wanna crash me ya ffcker - take that"....

but if you have an airbag and you have no seat belt, i think i read somewhere that "life" takes on a whole meaning. and includes the word "after".

something about this thread cause i've drunk a bottle of bacardi... :P

maybe road saftey campagins had progressed to deterents. crash the car -you die from being impaled by the steering column.

doesn't matter if you were at fault, you'll be dead. less complainers.

result.
