Ohh what? 15 YEARS before now? Yea... it's not all that impressive...

I want adaptive cruise control like the edge has. If the Edge w/my ford touch could tow 5,000 lbs... (which the explorer does), and has my... hmm... maybe i will drive one...

anyway, adaptive cruise in the feature I want... so sick of setting the cruise to 70 only to have some numb nuts in the left lane at 55... i'd put a bull bar on my truck and give 'em a push, but I don't want to lose my tow hooks...

 

Buick used to engage the starter by flooring the accelerator pedal. Talk about the "cool factor".

So adaptive cruise control would just slow you down to 55? I'd druther just have it flash the lites and honk the horn at him.
