Re: The car knows best ....
Ya know, if they took off a lot of the safety stuff there would be a lot less
vehicles on the road (just call it population control).

I dunno.. antiroll (stability control) is pretty nifty on the BMW X5.
You can just brainlessly press it into a corner with zero skill. But
it won't do beans all if you put it into a ditch or the other lane of
traffic. Given the depths of stupidity drivers today seem to plumb I
actually like the idea.
At least with most systems there is an on/off switch.
Just thinking what would happen if you mixed stability control
and off roading. Probably similar to ABS related loss of control.

I kinda wish they would stop plowing and sanding the roads here in winter.
It would stop the migration uphill, and only those who are prepared would be
out in a snow.
