So the myth that these computer controlled automobiles would fail ,,was just that a myth..

I agree with you Larry. When someone says "They don't make them like they used to...." my thought is "be grateful they don't". All of the new technology has certainly improved the operability of today's vehicles from creature comforts to brakes, to reliability, and safety. I wouldn't know where to begin to work on a current car or truck, with all of the computer driven components, but I'm a lot more confident these days that when it's below zero in the morning my van will start.
