My husband and I were delivering a table and chairs to our friend when we saw the sticker below on a lifted mid-2000s F-150 being driven by a kid in a flat-brimmed hat and a hoodie.
Why is this even a thing?
Also, unless he’s done some modification on his own, his F-150 is full of airbags :-/

Because people choose to ignore all the scientific testing behind how many lives they save and purely focus on the fact that “it’s a bomb aimed at your face”
Same people usually don’t wear seat belts either.

Unrelated but related, why does not wearing a seatbelt get you a ticket in 50 states, but not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle is A-okay in several states?

Well, without a helmet you can only hurt yourself but without a seatbelt you could hurt others inside the car with you.

I’ve seen that sticker before and have mixed feelings about it.
On one hand, it sure seems like a foolish disadvantage to be driving around like that. But then again, I can’t help but admire someone who’s fully aware of (and willing to accept) the consequences of his own driving habits. Still, anyone, even the best driver, can have their life turned upside-down by some random drunk driver.

Yes my car definitely has no airbags because I chose that not because I couldn’t afford one with them

My buddy has one above the glovebox on his Mark 2 Jetta. It’s somewhat ironic there, seeing as an 8v Mark 2 isn’t a very threatening thing, but it’s just stupid on something that actually has more than one airbag.

Because morons think helmets are more dangerous, because they restrict your field of vision. Also, loud pipes save lives.
Oh, and wearing a seatbelt in a car will only trap you in a burning wreck or rupture your spleen.

I rode a motorcycle a short distance without a helmet. Everything about it was horrible... Windburned eyes, deafening noise in my ears, bugs smacking my face. If that’s what freedom feels like, no wonder the kids like socialism so much.

Is it more manly to die with no airbag, or with a shrapnel slinging takata airbag?
Either way, I’ll gladly turn in my man card if it means I get to keep living.
