"Automakers like BMW, Ford, and Lincoln are rolling them out."

Yep, won't be buying any of those.

Just another distraction for drivers who don't see us as it is!

Yikes...what do you politically label a country run by companies instead of a government?

Oh well .. the world we live in ...

How about showing a warning on the dash of the cage driver about anything that has two wheels within 100 feet radius. The warning could be something like this, "A motorcycle rider 30 feet at 9 o'clock. Don't hit him and buy ALL the McDonald burgers you want with the money saved from the lawsuit!"

Its really just par for the course.
they are selling cars that will brake for you.
Parallel park.
Back up cameras.
Navigation.

WTF ever happened to driving your car?
How about you throw your arm over the seat and actually back up.

I don't really like automatic trans.... I like to control my car/truck
My wife and I have always had manual trans, her little fiat commuter is manual.
Last year I traded in my 6 speed Jeep for a Silverado and the dealerships look at you like you are crazy when you ask for a manual... Oh and good luck because you can't get one...

We are now a Nation of Pussies.....
