Base Z - Regrets?

370Z Purist

I think in a society where technology is contributing more to laziness ... well, in some cases, I still advocate the straight use of a clutch and gearshift. I'd much rather have that tactile pleasure than having a machine do it for me. There also happen to be ... something that my friend told me about, that a drive by wire system, and also an electronically controlled throttle may cause problems and otherwise be a detrimental thing on a performance car. I don't specifically remember why he said it was.

Also, more computers = more chance of sudden catastrophic failure, and possibly, global conquer by computerized artificial intelligence realizing they're better than humans. (I, Robot, anyone?)
