Yeah. I'm not short enough to get hurt by one, and I don't have any kids!
: )
Seriously, though, I don't think having an air bag in front helps me at all.
I sit well back from the wheel, and I always keep the belt SNUG and in the
right place. If I hit something hard enough to get me into contact with the
bag, chances are I'm already blood jelly. In fact, in the head-on accident I
had in an airbag-equipped car, the only benefit was a couple of neat burns
on my forearms. I had a head-on in my bug once, and with the seatbelt in the
right place, I was just fine, if a trifle pissed.
Now, the SIDE and HEAD airbags, those are a GREAT idea. I can't help sitting
pretty close to the door and window, and that lil' bar in the door is
supposed to stop some big ol' OldsmoBuick monster from coming in? PUH-LEEZ.
So, if I have my trusty Jetta in 2004, who knows? Maybe I'll just retrofit
whatever new gimmick they've got for preserving lazy-ass American drivers
who can't be bothered to buckle-up or do it right. Of course, if I
extrapolate my driving habits... In 2004, the car'll have at least a qurter
million miles on it. I'll probably lose patience with that damn elusive
rear-seat squeak before then!!!
So, to answer your question, Probably Not.
