Miata Mailing List: June 1998, Message #380

I know there is an air-bag deactivation kit available from someone,
but don't remember the source.  I am also curious since my wife and I
are expecting (our first) a little girl at the end of August and I
have absolutely no plans to get rid of the Miata.

oin whether I buy a miata or not.
