Not too worried. . . .


I jump out of planes at 12,000 feet, rock climb and bang promiscuous, psychologically volitale women and am still alive.


Air bags: bring it on.

I checked and my car does have airbags. How do I get them removed immediately?

I read that it refers to the passenger airbags, at least in the Toyotas. I called my Toyota dealership, and they don't have the replacement part. I'm short, and figured the airbags are dangerous to me anyway. Supposedly the defective part can explode on deployment and basically blow shrapnel on the passenger. I'd love to have them disabled for good.

You'd have to do it yourself, no shop will do it as it's illegal. And any insurance claim for medical would be refused if you had an accident.
