When Airbags Attack

This is what happens when you combine sitting too close with late airbag deployment. Based on the shape of the steering wheel and head restraints, I think it's a Pontiac Grand Prix.

That sucks. Looks like the whiplash was made worse by the fact that the dummy's head missed the headrest?

Fixed.

I think it's hilarious when I see huge cars driven by someone that is obviously so small that they could probably fit in the glove box or center console and they attempt to drive the damn thing. The seat moved fully to the front and they can barely see behind them because the rear and side mirrors are tilted to their max positions and there's barely enough room for them to turn their heads to see in their blind spots.

Like clothes, the car should fit the person. And that goes both ways, fatty's in miata's should be banned.
