/\ LTD, you and I agree on that, but recognize that we are old fashioned, and clinging to our old ways (for all I know you may be 19yo) The future is self driving electrics, we gear heads are going to have to adjust.

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have of changing others.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

My '07 Chrysler 300C has adaptive cruise control. Not a new thing.
