I don't think I'd ever want two rapidly spinning gyroscopes tied to my steering if I had to nail the brakes and suddenly maneuver in an emergency, and I know I'd never want those spinning discs when I'm driving 80 - 150 mph either.

After seeing the skidmarks from a fatal Ferrari crash in San Diego last month, I'm all about safety instead of flash now. If the unlucky guy had ESP, he'd be alive today. Classic over-correction sent him into oncoming traffic where he plowed sideways into a Mercedes. (Sorry to ramble on, but seeing stuff like that makes you think.)

What kind of nit-nort engineer thought of those unsafe spinning rims anyway???
