MASSIVE recall on automotive airbags. 14 makes affected. 2001-2016.`

Interesting. My dad (62 years old at the time) got in a really nasty wreck in 2014 in his 2008 Mercedes C300 4-Matic. Got rear-ended by a drunk driver doing 40mph while sitting in a turn lane which pushed him into oncoming traffic where he was then hit head on at about 40 mph, spun around and then hit again in the rear at about 20 mph. He said he saw it coming in his mirror and couldn't do anything - next thing he saw was white pillows all around him, which stayed inflated through the whole ordeal. He somehow walked away without a scratch or bruise (and no shrapnel in his face). The drunk driver's SUV is the tan one sitting near the gas pump in the first pic. After everything turned out okay for him, I still joke that it was because of the bubble-wrap in his trunk. He never mentioned any shrapnel in the passenger seat, but he probably wasn't too focused on the empty passenger seat after the accident.

Look at those gas prices!



Glad to hear he's okay.
