[Roadsters] My roadster Driving (print)

[Hall, Phillip B. (MSFC-EE11)]

Great conversation and one my daughter (14) and I had last night as she was
washing her Miata.  I gave my mom's old Miata ('89 #366, 61,000 miles) to
her and now teaching her to drive - she is getting good with the clutch.

New cars are not only boring, but people are relying on all the traction
control, ABS, yawl control,,,,, so much they forgot how to drive.  After my
daughter gets her license, I am enrolling her in performance driving schools
so she can really enjoy the car she drives and be so much safer doing it.

Leaving the arsenal, there is on ramp with a decreasing radius.  Almost
every time it rains a "new" car slides out and pegs the concrete barrier.
So where is all the ABS and crap now???
