Are you a man or a robot? I'll say it again, cruise control decreases driver involvement. To see the dangers of that all you have to do is read KITT's post above.

wow sorry to hear about the loss, that thing is a mess... Did you have full coverage on it? If you did, you can probably buy the car back from the insurance company for a low price and actually make money selling any parts that are good, perhaps even the engine/tranny if they're OK.

HOLY ****! I'm really glad to see you lived through that. It looks really awful.
What's your deal? Now you're suggesting the "dangers" of using cruise control? Maybe we should have the DOT investigate and take cruise out of ALL cars. If we want to relax in our cars on a long drive with the cruise on what is the big deal? If you're on a long drive, how many times do you shift out of 5th anyways?
I'm with adam, nothing wrong with cruise if you want to regulate yourself to a speed, get better fuel mileage, and relax on a long drive.
Just don't fall asleep

glad you're ok man. sorry about the loss. i used to have this repeating nightmare* like 3 times* where i was in a red car upside down and it was raining and i couldnt get out. that was way before i got my red fd. scared the hell out of me when i got it and i was driving in the rain. we just all need to learn a lesson from from him and be extra careful when we're tired.

. I can see the dangers of using cruise control when tired. Other than that, its a nice feature to have when you want to relax a little, and enjoy a nice easy drive. On a long trip, its a "must have" for a lot of people, including me.
