Re: [MBZ] Nanny car adventure
No place to park the analogue vehicle. HOA is harsh, and SWMBA is even worse about it. It would have to be arctic climate proof and live within walking distance of the dwelling. Maybe when the SEA ranch sells, I will gather my pennies. Wait for the border to open again, and find a car for AlCan Adventure drive. What calls to me would be a FJ 45 or Landy II clay I have no pronouns please do not refer to me. > On May 20, 2021, at 12:47 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > Clay > > You need to find yourself a new Gump and take it north. > Randy ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Nanny car adventure
They even have “nannies” on RC cars. A few brands have active vehicle control (AVC), and then, Traxxas came out with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM). It controls traction by regulating the power of the motor/engine, and a gyro built into the receiver regulates the steering servo to keep the car straight as it’s sliding or bumping over rocks. Of course, for fun factor, most of the time, I keep mine off!! On the street, it has saved me from crashes when I get a little too wild.

Re: [MBZ] Nanny car adventure
Nanny-cleanse, I love it. Could be marketed as therapy to aging boomers. "Surrender your smart phone / watch, put on this helmet. Get into your choice of the pre-1995 cars parked over there, drive the closed course circuit at the speed of your choice for at least three hours. Return here, put on safety goggles and hearing protection, get a firearm of your choice from the armory, fire at least 100 rounds over there."
