So, still in the Christmas spirit, I rolled down
the window and said real nice: "We don't have any
cash - we're living on credit cards. Sorry we
can't donate anything - I know it looks like I'm
rich because I'm driving a shiny new car, but this
where all our money is going, just so we can get
to the store to buy some beer and a few canned
goods!" LoL!

You can't make this stuff up!

profit. Adding air bags do not add much to

wagon for a mere $1800. I put the figure for
my '77 Subaru wagon in an inflation calculator
and my $2800 '77 should only cost around $11K
these days adjusted for inflation.

and model for only $15 including shipping. It
was easy to setup and works great.
