Default Re: Yep. They Gotta' Go

The trend to electronically fit autos has caused quite the problem with safety lately. The actor that played 'Chekov' in the last two Star Trek movies, got crushed behind a vehicle with one of those electronic transmissions. I will not own a vehicle with electronic steering. I will not own a vehicle without a mechanical interlock that insures the transmission is in park (the XF key will not remove without it being in park, hence no walking away from a mechanically sound vehicle). Too much designed into these vehicles without proper safety interlocks!
