Horn/Airbag
Just before you wreck, you honk at someone, and then the airbag explodes into your hand?

The two biggest injuries with airbag deployment are black eyes (from your hands) or skin burns from where you gripped the steering wheel and the airbag went up the side of your inner arms. stinks, but it's better than having your forehead hit the steering column!

Well, buy an 06 if you have a problem with it. The federal safety standards starting in 06 change the way the drivers airbag has to deploy, so the small cylinder wont work.
Basically in 06 the bag has to deploy as if it were a passanger bag, as a rectangle and up and out, not just out.

They hurt!! No way around that one. I dislocated my shoulder with one as well as bruised my arms and chest in my tin can wreck. Hyundai Elantra- my engine wound up in the passenger seat! BUT I am proud to say, I am alive and well today cause of it.
