Wim said: "There was a lot of traffic on the highway, and we were all going only about 15 - 20 mph. So it wasn't a hard hit, but enough to deploy the airbag. The first thing I thought was, "what is that funny smell?" " Wim, If it were me, I'd say it was what I was sitting in!<G> Seriously, it really doesn't take much to set off those Air bags, and most certainly things can happen very quickly. A couple of years ago, I did a rear end thing with the car my Mother gave to me...1985 Mercedes Benz 190D. I had a love/hate relationship with that car. Just glanced to the left for a second, noting a big truck in the next lane over, looked back and the Audi in front of me had stopped and didn't have brake lights! Slammed on the brakes,but did no good as I had studded tires and the pavement was dry. Just like being on an ice rink! I hated to let that car go,as it got 40mpg, (diesel)! Current vehicle gets 17mpg, if I'm lucky. :-( Whaaaa!<G> Glad you're o.k., I don't like seeing my buddies busted up w/o cause.<G> Best.\, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
