As someone who never even drove a car with any form of traction control until 3 years ago, I just don't get it. Are people really so reliant on technology now that they can't even control a car unless there's an electronic nanny to cut the power to the wheels? I'm 39. Been driving since I was 14. The only traction control I ever knew of up to the age of 36 was my right foot and the gray matter inside of my skull. And guess what? It worked just fine.

Aaaaammmmeeeennn! Good call Semtex. And if someone you know doesn't know how to drive a car, now's a good time for a little review. I just told my fiancee this morning, "If this happens to you, put it in park. (Yukon Denali Auto) That's simple. Don't even go for neutral. You never use it, but you know where park is. It won't ruin your car." (Girl speak) She asked if she should use the e brake. I said no.

A lot of people have forgotten because of the electro-stuff. Semtex, good call again. I don't find my girl to be an idiot, but just thought this is a perfect time to brush up on some skills. Spearfish on this board has talked about he being afraid of his girl. Yeah, I get that, but hey, let's give them a quick lesson and move on, right?

No wonder the rest of the world thinks we're a bunch of babies. With things like this, yeah, we are.
