Who done it?
 

Blue Z hit median on 59 at Kirby. Pretty much totalled... Who it be???

Ouch!

If they're one here? Will see a thread eventually. Thats too bad, I hope everyone is ok.

Not my MB!

Sounds like another case of VDC Monkeys. I hope the driver was alright.

i just read in Automobile that the new Mercedes CLK55 AMG has lane departure assist that is so intrusive, it will steer you back into an obstacle that you're trying to veer away from. Merc says you have to use the turn signal to deactivate the system. Ridiculous! How's that for a VDC monkey?

Wow. Talk about a Nannymobile.

Unexpecting suicide! No thanks!

That is why this car might be the last new car I buy in terms of safety intervention tools that will eventually creep into all cars. All this technology basically aiming to pick up the slack for the lazy/unsafe/unqualified drivers on the road.

+1

Too much crap to go wrong. Now the M3 turns off at stop-lights. Stuff like that just doesn't appeal to me, considering that most engine-wear happens at start-up...

:iagree: I stated the same thing a few weeks ago in another thread. Too much technology will take away the real driving experience in a few decades from now.

what the f*ck?? is that real? or are you just joking?

The newer Porsches do it too. I agree that the stop-start feature makes me cringe. If I had that feature, my car would cold start every city block I drove in the winter.

that's the dumbest thing ever..i dont...i dont understand..?? like umm isn't that really not too good for the car?? and not only that, seems retarded, "hey dad look at that nice porsche! thats weird, it keeps shutting off every time we get at a light, must be broken lawlz"

anything to save a little gas mileage and get C.A.F.E off their ***.
