I had an'89 Escort GT. The first year the GT was more than a decal package. Different engine (1.8L DOHC fuel injection as opposed to 1.9L carburetor SOHC(?)) and a short throw stick.
The automatic shoulder harness was possessed by a malevolent poltergeist.
Not one of Ford's "better ideas".

I got news for ya, Jones. You're gonna get smacked by that airbag either way. As fast as it comes out, there has to be some force to it.
I remember hearing of, and seeing, people with large bruises that came from the air bag.
Still happens.
The only vehicle I remember that didn't do that was a Honda, because their airbags used to come out of the dash and smack the windshield, before the bag unfurled back towards the driver/passenger.
If the manufacturer can lighten the weight setting, something tells me it wll work better.

I'll have to clean this one up, but back when I used to work as mechanic, we used to say "F****d Over Rebuilt Dodge".

On the Car Talk radio program several years ago they pointed out that the mishap probability for Mazda Miatas was rather high, but drivers fare much worse than passengers. The suggestion was that if you wanted a Miata the thing to do was ride in it but get someone you did not like to drive it.

Father Murphy walks into a pub and says to the first man, "Do you want to go to Heaven?"
"Yes I do Father."
"Stand over there near the wall."
The priest then asks another man the same question.
"Yes, certainly Father."
"Stand with the other man."
Father Murphy then asked O'Brian, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"No! I don't Father"
"Do you mean to tell me when you die, you don't want to go to heaven?"
"Oh, yes when I die. I thought you were getting a group to go right now."
"Yes I do Father."
"Stand over there near the wall."

Should have had Claymores as airbags. Soulless piece of amoebe poop.

Wasn't that the secret component in those Takata airbags?

I wanted a Miata. Factory new Triumph TR-4As with a/c, working heater and a five year/50,000 mile warranty are unavailable. Of course it was to be painted BRG.

I had to websearch Miata as they are/were not sold in Aus
Turns out is just a US badge name for the MX-5

Had a TR-3A for a little while, heater was one of the few things that worked properly. It city traffic I had to to turn the heat down. However with the gaps in roof and side curtains a Salamander heater could not keep you warm at 60 mph in a New England Winter.
