    Maayos ka nga magmaneho but how you be sure na yung ibang motorist ganun din.

    I would buy it and a stripped version would be modified for track day use. Airbags can be dangerous too. Research accidents which involves drivers of shorter than the 5'8" average. Suffering rib injuries and in some cases being paralyzed because of sitting so close to the steering wheel. Women are at most risk with improper driving position.

    And prior to the 1990s, we all grew up riding in the laps of our moms in cars with hard plastic dashboards and no seatbelts. :D (well back then cars were not as fast and the roads were not as crazy).

    Airbags are there to help but i would pay for ABS any day over airbags. Having no airbags won't be as a deal breaker for me as compared to having no ABS.

    Uh... the fact that cars are REQUIRED by LAW in the United States to have an airbag sensor that automatically deactivates the front passenger airbag if the front passenger is small indicates that it's less a matter of improper use and more a matter of the airbag is fricking dangerous for lighter and smaller passengers.

    This is also why children are not allowed in the front seat in the US.

    Airbags are designed for a specific weight and height of passenger. If you are too big, it does nothing. If you are too small, it will kill you. And these are only supplementary. They do nothing if you're not wearing your seatbelt.

    Racing cars have no airbags because they're not needed. If the driver is strapped in properly, with no movement of the body possible, they are much safer than if they were wearing loose belts and had airbags.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Airbags pa rin? hehehe. Kapag may naaccident na modern car tapos tepok ang driver at passenger. Sinisisi agad na hindi nagdeployed ang airbags. Kawawang airbag. :D

    An example of a "sports car without airbags": Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    And another one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_930
