if at least 2 people didn't see it (which is true) - then that means your post was swallowed up by the thread and not seen by everyone.

I can't help but wonder though, it'd be like turning off the pain receptors in your body - so you don't know what's hurting you... so you'll just keep going through life oblivious to damaging things, then all of a sudden you notice nothing is working - blam - your system is shot - you take it to the dealer and they're like yeah, your system is busted and needs to be replaced. That'll be $35,000. Thx

More like all car companies. Theyre all overcomplicating it, which results in taking the driver out of the equation until shit goes really wrong and they have no idea what to do.

This is the trend these days. Newer must mean more tech, and cars that are bigger = better. The cycle just repeats until automakers phase out cars that are too big or add a ridiculous amount of options and then introduce smaller models to compensate for gaps in the lineup.

Perhaps not ideal but you can forgo replacing the Airmatic suspension with standard shocks, so I've been told. Can't imagine why you can't do it with the upcoming ABC (chuckle) suspension.

Gotta pay to play.
