Oh no, I'm a climbin on a soap box on this one, I feel it to be funny in a very sick perverse sort of way. VW in their current infinite lack of wisdom has to design this monster $1000 fills the whole car passenger side airbag and TAKES OUT THE DAMN GLOVEBOX to do it when for everybody else a little in dash thing is enough only to have this happen. Hillarious, I'm a kill all the laywers type but I hope these people take VWoA to the cleaners on this one. John vwbus@netbiz.net never known to be very PC
