Good points Arco. I forgot about the nanny's and winter driving. You hit them well.
Ever since I noticed ABS doesn't work in the slushy snow.From two weeks ago?
I am looking at cars from the 30's thru the mid 60's.
Only really loving power brakes on heavy cars and a heater and AM radio.
Don't want no tech.
Ever since I noticed ABS doesn't work in the slushy snow.
Ever since Hill Holder almost killed me backing down a icy hill.
Ever since traction control would not let me get up my hill
Ever since Stop/Start doesn't let me pull out into busy traffic
Ever since the Heater/ AC Icons are so small they make me run off the road trying to make a small adjustment
Ever since he ECU saves all driver inputs before an "event"
Pretty much. Again the Post was meant to find those folks that Changed Their Mind (like me) not those that spout out the worn out dislikes for the stuff.Predictable replies by the average demographics on this forum.....
By all means embrace all the nannying you can as you approach the century mark...Predictable replies by the average demographics on this forum.....
Got plenty of company here on this one......By all means embrace all the nannying you can as you approach the century mark...
The main reason I purchased the 2021 Honda HRV Sport AWD was because this model does not have none of that extra stuff ....If I would have purchased the EX model it had the lane change push button start and appative cruse control... I like it simple and I keep my eyes on the road too...I am 68 years old...
These dislikes are NOT worn out if they hinder my good driving or put me a risk - they are UNWANTED.Pretty much. Again the Post was meant to find those folks that Changed Their Mind (like me) not those that spout out the worn out dislikes for the stuff.
I haven't. I'm a millennial who works in the tech field, so comfortable with technology. I understand this stuff has its place, nobody can deny that. My two issues with it are as follows:Mainly I wondered if anyone had CHANGED THEIR MINDS
Nice, that's helpful.Yea-it's amazing how many "superior drivers" on are this forum......
In slushy snow or gravel, a "skidding" tire will stop faster than one pulsed with ABS - you won't have steering authority, but it will stop faster.Ever since I noticed ABS doesn't work in the slushy snow.
ABS pumps far faster than you can in a slick road condition-that's a fact
Ever since Hill Holder almost killed me backing down a icy hill.
I tow a 5,000 pound travel trailer all over the Rocky Mountains-the hill holder "holds" both the truck and trailer.
Ever since Stop/Start doesn't let me pull out into busy traffic
Stop/start is a non-issues in every car I have ever driven. Perhaps your example had something wrong with it.
Ever since the Heater/ AC Icons are so small they make me run off the road trying to make a small adjustment
Most systems are auto controlled and you don't need to look very closely to adjust temperatures.
Ever since he ECU saves all driver inputs before an "event"
Obviously with all of these "driver-aids" you don't need you are obviously a superior driver and shouldn't be concerned about storage of "events" since your skills are so good and you will never be in an "at-fault" accident.
These dislikes are NOT worn out if they hinder my good driving or put me a risk - they are UNWANTED.
For the inattentive blobs of mostly water and pink goo behind the wheel enjoy you nurse nanny taking or you. Not directed at you Al, just shouting at the clouds.

Funny, I actually tried to get the wife to get familiar with the EyeSight DAT system on her New-ish Subaru Outback and she would have nothing of it. When disabled it does still beep when she crosses a centerline or lane marker. I thinks she accepts that aspect.
If I did a lot of interstate commuting I would give the system a fair shot.
For 95% of my driving, a 1933 Plymouth would be refreshing.
