Someone probably got smoked on a side collission I hope they dont have to take the door cards off and give me 20 rattles, but its a small price to pay for staying alive.

PS the new air bag sensors add 20 hp

I'd take the risk...I hate taking any car to a dealer, especially for something that will not cause the car to start on fire when the key is turned.

You know it! (Though I think they are only going to check the torque on some bolts).

Correct torque adds 20 hp!

cheers!
