    If ZF never introduced the futuristic Brake-By-Wire system, then they would never have been able to bump sales through marketing of this new Brake-By-Wire system plus the resulting economic stimulus benefit through increased maintenance and part replacement.

    You know the old saying: If it ain't broke, reinvent it and see what happens.

    Gremlins Inc at work munching away on man's efforts.

    I am happy my brakes are simple physics and fluiddynamics. My insurer however is not. Vehicle is considered a crusher not a crushee.

    Dear lord, $68,000 for something that was originally meant for hauling pig ####.

    And now it can't even do that.

    Go buy a $20,000 car and have everything else delivered dummy.
