I like the whole "I have never engaged the ABS so why would I need it" line of reasoning. I have had cars with airbags now for a good many years and have never had an airbag deploy. I suppose whilst I am in the garage I might as well remove the airbags...

In fact, I have never needed a heart defibrillator before, either. I think I am going to have them removed from the building that I work in...

Evidence culled from this very forum strongly suggests that there are people who never use their brains. I think we should remove those organs since their owners probably were never going to use them anyway...

We'll have to wait; they're all out driving around in rush hour traffic right now...

Brain? What brain? Oh! THAT! I always wondered what that was in the jar in the back of the fridge...hard to tell though since I disconnected the light. Couldn't see any reason to pay all that money to have it on all the time like that. Every time I opened the door the light was already on!

Good news! I finally got the catalytic converter off of the car! I couldn't see what was being converted so I figured if I couldn't see it, how could it hurt me?

Wasn't that Abbie Normal's brain in the jar?

Nothing to convert...I'm still laughing over that one!

My parking area is at a little better than a 30 degree angle - without hill assist my smart would be sitting in my living room. - sheureka

The 1950 Studebaker had Hill Holder brake technology as well.

It was discontinued because people didn't use it much.

Our 1981 Subaru 4x4 Wagon had hill assist and I found it came in handy more than a handful of times but spoiled me for driving cars with a normal system. Took me a while to unlearn the bad habits I learned from that car.

If you don't like hill assist, do what do.. Shift into neutral when you're at a light... As soon as you let off the break you can coast back into the car behind you as much as you like. Honest (almost did it today...)
