Re: Aftermarket steering wheel?

[PlyBoyDoct@aol.com]

WELL, i did kinda expect that he was pulling my leg.  But I don't want to get 
killed by this thing.  The dealer told me that its a bad bag.  It won't even 
inflate at all, meaning everything in the bag is gone.  Meaning, even if I 
'jimmied' around in it, it won't inflate.  Kinda fishy, no?  I just want a 
good mechanic to fix my car with/o any hassle or fuss.  But I also want the 
truth.  ::sigh::  Where am I going to find that?

Well, back to the problem at hand.  I like having an airbag, because it adds 
security while driving though those corners.  Has anyone put an A4 wheel or 
older S4/S6/100 wheel on?
Does it even work?  TIA
