I perked up when I heard Click & Cluck knocking our beloveds because,
according to them, they're unsafe w/o airbags.  Unsafe?  I know seat belts
and airbags are great things to have.  I never drive w/o me belt but I don't
consider an airbag as crucial to survival as a belt.  Anyone disagree, with
data?

I was highly offended by some entertainer on the airwaves insinuating me
SaVannah is unsafe.  One of yous gearheads need to send them the crash
videos we recently had going around here so they understand we're as safe as
can be expected in a van of that era.  I'll take a bald mid lifer in a
Vanagon any day over a young turk in a red coupe high on testosterone!
