I agree.  Just used it as a point to show how much more comfort and 
convenience is being built into cars today then when our Type 3s were 
built.

If you look at the statistics, people are spending more and more time 
in their cars and traveling far greater distances in their cars than 30 
years ago.  We are also using our cars for more tan just transportation 
today.  Some of that is good.....some of it contributes to increased 
driver workload and distraction which is not a good thing.
