Newer airbags exhibit the same trend and take fewer lives (tens) through design improvements.
Anyway, where are my common million dollar lottery tickets punk?  |
I wouldn't bother arguing. Darwin has his way of sorting these things out. I will mention my co-worker who hit the steering wheel and smashed out a bunch of teeth when somebody pulled in front of her Volvo.
Tens of thousands of dollars of dental work later, she bought a car with airbags.
