agree

I think Commonguy101 summarized what I was going to say really well. I used to ride off-road motorcycles and then street bikes and then cars.

To survive on each of these machines in a sporting manner, you have to be paying full attention to what is going on. I think it really helps to have this background when driving an automobile.

One thing I am really concerned about is the infotainment systems all the new cars come with. They provide so much distraction to drivers in addition to their phones and their kids and their friends. Cars should be car, not amusement rides.

I predict, he says, that these infotainment systems will be banned at some point and I think that day is not far away. People are people and come with all sorts of abilities and with limitations.

I am happy to see a speedo and a tach and basic gauges in my 05 Matrix and no distractions for me or anyone else who drives my car.
