A wasted post on the way to P1K... Investigative journalism at its best. I heard yesterday GM was recalling a bunch of cars for air bag probs. This probably traces back to a story I heard on onion.com several months ago. They reported that GM was the first manufacturer to put prize coupons inside of selected airbags. They reported about a fellow who was so busy looking for his coupon that he let his wife drown. Was going to get a new Olds with her life insurance and drive it off a cliff, to see if he got a prize in this car. Perhaps GM forgot to include all the fine print that goes with contests. TK
