There is nothing more annoying to me then when I have to loose money because of somebody else's f*** up. Part of business I guess, but still makes you want to kick things and break them.

Lucky technicians.

They'll probably get to detonate the old air bags :(

The recall covers some of the top-selling Japanese cars, including Toyota's Camry and Corolla, and rivals like the Nissan Maxima and Honda Civic.
I had no idea the Camry and Maxima were rivals. I'm glad Yahoo news is here to keep me informed!
