Ford sucks again...stability control soon standard

[PeteLeathersac]

And we thought traction control systems that can't be shut off were bad! .

Ford announced today that stability control systems will be standard by the end of the decade...the government says it's coming soon anyway. .

What it all really means is...slide over, big brother is soon taking over the driver's seat? .

Here's the link below...read it and think about how well this will feel to those of us that can and periodically enjoy driving agressively. .

I wonder when older cars will have to be retrofitted w/ these systems?

All of our police units have the traction control crap turned off because in the rain it will not allow any aggressive driving. The cars will not stop as it is under hard braking if you are on a rough uneven surface like a flat (no hump) railroad crossing. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Oh boy, first big bro puts in the "Black box" to record what we did. NOW, they want the ESC to "correct what were doing". Glad their not in my house --- yet.
