80 Subaru GL (or was it a GL-10?)
86 Subaru GL
88 Subaru DL
78 Chevy C10 (Big 10, actually)
78 Lincoln Continental
79 Buick Park Avenue Electra
87 Lincoln Town Car
91 Dodge Caravan

Can't remember if the '89 Civic had inertial or pendulum, but I think it
was inertial.  Note that most of the above are domestic; it may be a
preference of some sort?  Dunno.  I also seem to remember the '94 Tercel
being pendulum, but I'm not certain.  I know of one particular SE-R
owner that to this day uses the lurch-brake method to set his belt.  I
guess he may feel a bit silly doing that now. :)
