Man, that is so gay. Ferrari should be required to inform potential buyers of the "issue," but if people want to buy the F430 anyway they sure as heck should be allowed to.

But the F430 lacks sufficient protection for a small number of female occupants who aren't strapped into the correct position in the event of a crash. The same problem applies to child occupants.

WHAT?! What is the 'correct position'? Come on . . . . give me a break! That being said, the issue is on Ferrari since they could have better prepared as stated in the article.

Oh come on Jason...you know...correct position.

Like, the airbag wont work if said female occupant is: upside down, backwards, sideways, full lotus, etc etc.

Frankly I can't think of anything except for maybe a size problem (the woman guys!!!) since it mentioned children too. I just posted it, but didn't really think the whole article through till now....
