OH SH*T, SON, HES GOT A SUNGLASS KIOSK IN THE MALL! DONT F*CK WITH THIS MAN!
lol.
i'll agree traction control and stuff is nice for your everyday soccer mom or other normal person who doesnt have a clue how to drive. but people who do know how to drive are better off without these systems, because the systems assume you dont know how to drive and try to correct you; very likely putting you into the wall or over the embankment that normally you would have no problem avoiding. now you say "turn it off" but most of these cars, even when you turn it off, they will override and kick in at the most inopportune time.
look up the NHTSA statistics on ABS. it has had some effect in decreasing likelihood of collision, but when a collision occured, a fatality was much more likely now this is primarily due to people not knowing how to use ABS, the pedal vibrates and they let off "ahh my brakes failed!" and boom.
in short, for a family trip or something yeah these new things are nice. but when im trying to drive, no thanks. these systems are no more than a crutch, and when you end up driving something without these aids, you might be in for the ride of your life.

everything u just said was bullshit. when u turn it off, it doesn't turn back on. and the car doesnt auto correct what u do it just makes sure you don't slide the rear end out on yourself or understeer yourself. please tell me when trying to avoid a collesion u would ever do ether of those? u wouldn't? and the reason my kiosks was brought up was because someone else decided to call bullshit on me. so i did what most other people here don't do. provide proof.
the only thing i may belive is your statment about abs. but please send me a link to where u saw those statistics.
fact of the matter is technology is here and here to stay. and it will keep progressing. if u don't like it. keep driving your 80's cars. and be happy with it. and stop bugging people that like it.
no matter how good a driver you are. a human can't proccess over a million diffrent things per second and apply brakes to each individual wheen when it starts to lose traction.
and humans never will.[This message has been edited by 84fierotrevor (edited 12-11-2006).]
