>>>*That might thin out the highway traffic for sure. *Probably put more people on bikes, too, which would made the Portland city fathers happy.

Lord, I hope they don't get any more ideas though.

One thing about Germany, they have places where 100 MPH and up is legal, I understand? I could deal with that, I am perfectly comfortable running at very high speeds, I would think nothing of doing 130 to 140 on the freeway it they weren't full of....well...full...*LOL**.

I see now the Prius is getting recalled for brakes? What's up with brakes being tied into and controlled by the throttle and trying to recharge batteries?

If I step on the brakes, I want them to be just brakes, I don't want some computer to decide when and how much. Same with the gas, if I want the tires to spin I want to be able to, I have been in situations where that was an asset, and allowed for car control. Computers? Yea, sure, just what we need is a blue screen when we need the brakes real bad.

My Corvette has a button I can push that lets ME drive, not the dang computer. The Impala doesn't and I hate that, but it's front wheel drive which is goofy anyway..
