Recently, I've been trying to get rid of a bunch of old junk that I no longer need. Junk like Integra parts for a car I sold five years ago. In so doing, I found a driver side airbag from said 1995 Integra GS-R. What's the best way to get rid of it?

All joking aside, I'd imagine someone could use one so my guess would be ebay or C-L.

Have you given craigslist a whirl yet? Stuff like that usually sells decently there.

Haven't tried Craigslist, for two reasons. First, I don't want to sell the thing to some kid who will do something stupid with it. Second, and perhaps most importantly, I don't want to be bothered. :) Crown Honda of Southpoint tolme they'd take it, so that's probably where I'll end up taking it.

The last Teen Survival day that I went to, they fired two off to show the kids how high it would send stuff flying (I forget what they set on top). It was quite entertaining for all. Anyway, they might take a donation.

I ended up calling Crown Honda over by Southpoint, and they said they'd take it, so I took it over there. I'm sorry that I missed the Street Survival suggestion - when Crown told me they'd take it, and that they were open, I went down there. Otherwise I'd have put it back in the closet, forgotten about it again, and found it a second time, five years from now.

For Street Survival, I still have about 8 left (the 9th was the one we blew up last time)...I'll be sure to bring it and the wire again.

in the future if anyone needs to get rid of these, just bring them to me at work and we will put them in a crushed car for you.
