If I was that scared I'd reconsider getting out of bed in the morning.

The great majority of cars on the road to day DO NOT have side airbags. New cars often have them as extra cost OPTIONS. They are not mandated by law.

It's not anything I'll lose sleep over...YMMV.

That's not relevant. Insurance companies factor in the number of airbags your car has (among a laundry list of other things) when they come up with your rate. So if you start removing safety devices, they can argue that your car is essentially no longer the car they agreed to insure. It doesn't matter that other cars don't have them. But like I said, to each his own. We all choose to take risks in life. I probably take some risks that you wouldn't choose to take as well. I don't feel the need to call you a "wimp" or "scared" on account of that.

Sorry if you missed the Joking sarcasm.......The way the world is going these days, no one wants to take responsibility for their own actions anymore..There are more ambulance chasing lawyers in this town than I can count....Guess I was just brought up differently...

I'm already paying $500 more a year for a cheaper slower, less expensive car than the Corvette I sold to get it....They're already screwing me because of the demographics of this vehicle. If you think I'm worried about them you're crazy...

Yeah, I hear ya on that (the lack of personal responsibility nowadays). $500 a year more than the Corvette? Man, that sucks.

Tell me about it...The Vette is an insurance rated old mans car, The Z is a kids car, So even though I'm old, I get the benefit of paying for the typical high risk Z driver. Yeah, it does suck...
