I highly doubt they will recall those airbags as defective! Mind you they look like they could be hazardous.

On deployment those airbags could cause the passenger to become very..stiff.

Well it could have:
1) Turned into a flame fest for posting a rumour blog
2) Become the AT vs MT dispute of the week
3) Continued into the realm of pure speculation about turbos that some would believe as fact
4) Gradually evolve into the 20th circle jerk on how the cars are "perfect just he way they are" this month
5) Started a heated argument on some bizarre subject that was not even basically founded on the original post


I for one, think it went just the way it should

Nope that would not have happened. You know better than that.
Besides it was fun.

That's bullshit. These cars can clearly be improved quite easily. Look how many people have done at least one performance mod.

Depends on the definition of "perfect." To some, perhaps it is. To others it is not. It's one of the best handling cars I've been able to experience and that's why I bought one. It's "imperfections" are bad enough for me to change them.

Well at least she looks perfect! The thought that she is perfect could change in a hurry in person.

perfect because YOU can make the car what YOU want it to be.

the car is like a wall, fine by itself, but you can decorate it as you see fit. Paint it, hang an art piece, flat screen, or family photo on it, or even break it down to it's core and rebuild it as you see fit. your only limit is your budget.

I'm still working on my prototype solution to this. Here's the working model...
