[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 333629, member: 10543"] Many areas of Illinois (USA) are very flat, roads are straight and intersections are at perfectly square angles. I grew up in Illinois and there was one local road with a curve in it. You can guess where all of the crashes happened. When I took my bride to mountainous western North Carolina (USA) for the first time, she absolutely freaked out (behind the wheel of her automatic transmission car) at all of the curves. So, yep -- Geoffc's appraisal is spot on. I love automobiles and drive a 6-Speed Manual Transmission ...... as does my wife these days. I often think of all of the wasted suspension and drivetrain technology in today's cars, as owners plod along yammering on the phone completely separated from the task of driving. [/QUOTE]
