All very intersesting though and I can imagine traumatic at times. > Wearing your seatbelt, of course, right? Of couse. It's manadatory here, as are motorcycle helmets and even bicycle helmets. All good stuff I say. I imagine I survived my accident due to a lot of factors, one of the biggest being the airbag. Have you ever smelt that airbag gas? In a foggy daze I thought the car was on fire. I meant to write to Ford to tell them to put some "scent" into the gas. I never want to smell anything similiar again. One knows how well smell jogs one's memory! Perhaps I'll enquire to SAAB (also had to find a way to get back on topic lol) Davo
