  I just cannot understand having something that is jammed up with electronics and ####.

Perhaps rereading the opening post is needed.
Nowhere are digital ignition and EFI criticized.

Well excuse the f##k outta me for not knowing exactly what you meant by ..."...jammed up with electronics and ####". :censored: :facepalm:

Nothing smiley about it- it means, more or less, I cannot believe (whatever it is used with regards too).

If you don't want complex technology, don't watch this video.  The next step is to eliminate the rider altogether, and just let the vehicles go out on their own, do what they want without us even being involved.  We'll just buy them, and set them loose on their own.

Not sure if the "rider" shown is organic or robotic.
