    Sunday is supposed to be perfect! Sunny, 75 degrees. It will be a perfect crisp morning for a drive. Who's in?

    I just checked the weather and their calling for scattered thunderstorms - I hope this doesn't happen as I have a pool party scheduled for my 7yr old along with 15 of his little friends!

    Its not the end of the world if you miss one race :)

    [Full disclosure: Kimi is sucking again this year, and Alonso has a dog of a car so I've pretty much lost all interest]

    DAMN! I am baby-sitting this weekend! (I guess it is not actually "baby-sitting" when it is your child) ;)

    The wife will be at the beach. Looks like a good crew. Take lots of fo-to's :)

    Airbag + 7 month old = unhappy mom and illegal... ;)

    if someone can tell me how to disable the airbags in a 95 355 easily, I will be there. Seriously.

    355 they are electrically activated so there must be a way to get a switch inserted into that line for this and future doughtnuts! See you Sunday, I will drive a different car, M

    They are 15 years old, probably don't work anyhow! LOL

    Seat goes WAY back in a 355, doubt the airbag can reach the carseat.

    Of course, best bet is to DRIVE CAREFULLY and not wreck!

    Luke, take a look at this thread. Looks like a 10 minute job but it will throw a light on your dash which should be easy enough to fix with some black tape ;). I would call Richard or Fernando to confirm this truly disables it without any side issues.

    I know we're nagging you but you may want to do this anyway so you can carry the munckin around in the future. You want to make sure he's bonded with the Ferrari as he grows up.

    Even if the airbags were disabled I still wouldn't let my kids ride in the front of the car... it's times like this a 456 or 599 look quite attractive. :)

    eh... a 599 is a two seater just like your 355..... :) Did you mean 612?

    Some cars you can just pull the fuse. Might be worth checking?
