Default Air bag recall

I took the 33 over to the local Ford dealership today to check if the airbag was one of the ones that needed replacing,
when the technician looked in the glove box and saw the flat brown paper bag,he was amazed ,and said they went out ages ago and are not covered buy the warranty ,but he did say that they were more environmentally friendly than the new plastic ones.

Those paper bags do not leave the imprint of a feed bag on your face when they explode either.

If your girlfriend was not attractive.They used to install two bags years ago. One for your girlfriend and one for you in case hers broke.

I had an airbag in the back seat of my 51 vicky. It was called "mother in law".

Lawrie, They've outlawed plastic bags here in Commiefornia, and they make you pay 10¢ each for paper bags.

Mine was usually under the seat - where it made sure the pint of whiskey was "safe"!

My car has this type of air bag; wonder if it's subject to the recall?

I love the facial expressions of the store clerks when they ask if I
would like a bag, and the reply is, No Thanks, I already have one.
Sometimes they catch on.
