I got nailed by an SUV on my way to work a few weeks ago. I thought it noteworthy that the airbag deployed as designed. I always figured it was a non-starter after 20 years and 198k miles. I think there was a placard on the car that said it should be replaced after 10 years---in any case, I thought this might be reassuring to any of you out there with 'late model' 240s that have SRS.
Unsurprisingly, the car still ran fine after this and I could have driven to a garage if needed.
Just replaced her with a white '92 245 w/ 169k. We'll hope for better luck with this one...
