Couple of weeks ago when I took it to the dealer about the blinker problems I left the airbag out to rob them of some labor.
Going down the highway I glance down to see the airbag light on and had a brief "WTF now??" moment

Heh. Doh.
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
