So, were auto prices just too high?

Front airbags are unsafe for kids because they blow directly at the passenger. Side airbags blow straight down, so they don't directly impact the individual they are designed to protect.

Our 2005 Chrysler Town and Country has a cool airbag feature - it has a pressure sensor in the front seat. If there is no one in it, it is on. If there is weight in it less than 100 lbs, it is off. If the weight is over 100 lbs, it is on. Not that that is on topic in the least, but I thought it was cool. It also has adjustable pedals, making it much nicer for my 5'1 wife, as she no longer has to hug the steering wheel to drive, making it much safer for her should she ever be in an accident where the airbags deployed.

I love housing prices at present - as long as I don't have to move. Makes me look good on paper. In 1993, I paid 108K for my 1900 sq foot house. Those houses in the neighborhood now are going for about 500K. So I have lots of value, but I couldn't buy anything comparable for less than 500K, so it's a catch 22.
