[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3626363, member: 45524"] i honestly don't know why cars have to get more complicated. like, for a long time cars weren't much different than cars from the 1930's. then obd ii came out and it was like "computer in a car? it can control *everything*" and everyone knows diagnosing car trouble is one thing diagnosing computer trouble is another but doing *both* really sucks. i would like to see if an auto manufacturer could use it's dang near century history building cars to just make a really, really good one using the same techniques they used before. nothing new. i don't want a first gen anything. give me old parts, mechanically simple. i want a real throttle body with a real butterfly valve, no drive by wire. i want real brakes with compressed fluid between them, and i don't want a brain determining my pedal inputs to apply to each wheel. yeah that stuff is cool, but one wrong wire sending an odd voltage to one wrong sensor and all of sudden you are in auto limp mode. new cars suck. just my .02 [/QUOTE]
