    Well....
    I for one am happy the auto manufacturer's were at least able to improve upon the early passenger restraint systems that were being contemplated....

    This was an option most new MINI oweners wanted so the could jump out of the car when it's moving so they would not be see driving that ugly thing.

    Oh don't please don't get me started. How idiot proof do we need to make a car. So I hate to sound stupid but does it lock you in unless your in park? Well I would hate to have a wreck and Cristen deside she doesn't want to let me out!
    Soon standard transmition car will be outlawed.

    Oh I forgot about a stuck gas peddle. I guess turning off the key is to hard or the several other ways to Handel the problem.
    We even got a check for that from Toyota. And we never had a problem.

    Ok I'm done.

    Chuck...
    Let's bring back the good old days when we used to set the points with a feeler gauge and gasoline wars were fought with girls pumping gas wearing hot pants and tube tops...
