RobertISaar Posted January 27, 2016 Report Posted January 27, 2016 i've done it for the lulz when other people notice the handle/belt setup, but it's entirely impractical to use as intended. that and ropeburn on the neck is REALLY difficult to explain to other people. Imp558 1 Quote
89-W-Body-Regal Posted January 29, 2016 Report Posted January 29, 2016 I don't know why so many people hate those seat belts. I don't have a problem with mine lol. There good to me. Quote
jake91 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 I tried to use it once. Never again. I used it a couple time when I was in a hurry but that's it Quote

Nas Escobar Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 I laugh a little every time I see a picture of the seat belts buckled in with the doors open like that. I don't think many people made use of this "feature." Since owning my first W, I've NEVER used the seatbelts as intended. I wonder if the NHTSA seriously thought anyone would either. That goes for those stupid motorized belts that the Japanese used as well. My friend used them as such once in my Cutlass, which was hilarous considering that you have to pull the belts away from you to get out. I seriously wonder if the cars were delivered with the belts buckled. Psych0matt 1 Quote
Padgett Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 Like the '74 seatbelt interlock NHTSA kept trying to find ways to make people wear them and the "passive" belts were GM's answer to the motorized ones F*rd used.. Finaly gave up when airbags became required. Quote

movielover40 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Unocal chick looks hot. Never saw a Regal convertible. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Hard to tell from the blurry pic, but she looks like in her 50s, would probably be in her late 70s today. I have vague memories of a thread where someone found one of those Unocal Regals rotting away in the front yard of some hermit's house. '93RegalGS3800 and Psych0matt 2 Quote
