I am sure that some people feel the same way about their 200-500hp 4000lb vehicle to, but that is the price of progress. Build it better and safer than ever before. Progress is the norm of any society and we get to choose to be a part of it, or sit by and just watch it happen. I have also seen where people in our hobby have said that speed is just too dangerous as well, but we are going faster, higher, and beyond any comprehension of those same people from years past.
I remember watching a video about the early years when the automobile was first being produced and people thought it was black magic and how it was going to kill many people. Well they have, and still progress continues to move ever forward. Just look at the first vehicles compared to what we have today. You can not stop progress, and you can surely watch it from the side lines if you wish. I had a neighbor ask me if I was not afraid of my van because it could start with just with the touch of my remote. I just laughed and asked him why he would think that? He was just astounded that I could start my vehicle from afar, and he felt that it would turn on me and could do something evil. So is this your feeling as well? Remote start is something that has been around for nearly as long as I have been alive. Technology is finally catching up and is allowing us to use it in ways that was only a dream years ago. I also love our automatic opening doors and remote hatches. I guess that scares some folks as well. Thats really too bad. I relish technology and what it provides for us, and I am surely not going to sit back and just watch it from a distance when there are so many new opportunites coming our way. Don't be afraid of it, just respect it, and use it with caution.
