I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

This is gonna get expensive...

Worse than expensive.  A whole lotta cars will be waiting for them.  At least one manufacturer has told the owners not to ride with  a passenger in the front seat until the replacement (not in stock) part is installed.

is the issue that the airbag inflates spontaneously or doesn't work at all?
edit..

aha..

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

The issue involves defective inflator and propellent devices that may deploy improperly in the event of a crash, shooting metal fragments into vehicle occupants.

Bad time to be a company spokesman at Honda.

Given that my girl has a defective GM ignition that she has been trying to get fixed under recall for six months now I would not hold my breath about this issue getting fixed anytime soon.
