2M 20S. Would have been more interesting to see the Ford hitting
the Chevvy at 90 degrees to see how mnay injuries the driver received.

Only a dumb yank would try and carry half a ton of cement on the
tailgate, surely ?.

go on take a chance....my Mustang has exploding air bags that may kill
you .....getting replaced in November



Was that Americans thinking that an airbag would always save them so no
need to wear a seat belt.


AFAIK Cars for the US domestic market have buch bigger air bags
than european cars because US citizens tend not to wear seat belts,
so need 'protecting'.

Those dodgy airbags are probably made by that Japanese company
where millions have been shown to be suspect. Going off by
accident is bad enough, but firing shrapnel in your face is a
bit much.
