[V8] the V8 is upset

The airbags on Allroads are wear items, just like tires.  They 
eventually leak, but they're easily (at least the fronts) replaced.  How 
soon they leak depends upon user abuses.  The system is designed to stay 
at the Level 2 except for occasions where greater height is needed or 
when driving in excess of 80 mph, in which case the system goes 
automatically to Level 1.  But some folks don't like the "look" of Level 
2 with its gap between the tire circumference and the shape of the 
wheelwell, so they drive ALL the time in Level 1.  That makes the bags 
fold over on themselves and encourages cracking, just as if you ran your 
tires all the time with 10 psi of air.
