I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic. Auto seat belts are ****. I feel like I'm being strapped into an electric chair or some ****.

Don't think you understood which one.

The FAQ for FC is a sticky thread found at the top of this, the 2nd gen technical section.

It should not be confused with the board's FAQ which is next to the search button found in the header.

Please read the all the sticky threads before posting. They include the rules for this section of the board, the FAQ for FC sticky thread, and the standard and optional features sticky thread.

no i wasnt being sarcastic, i think it is a pretty cool 80s thing.

sometimes i forget to put on my seatbelts, but it looks like i have one on. not only that, you dont have to reach over to get the seatbelt.
