Posted by Agent Skelly In the cars I've seen with the auto-parallel park feature, the computer that controls that is linked similar to how cruise control works. So if fails, it just stops dead. A matter of fact, I believe they have to do this under NHTSA regulations for safety reasons. I know of like 5 people who always buy cars without "any electronics" because they think the ECU/OBD systems fail as much as they change oil. They don't; they are well-designed embedded systems that have to meet all kinds of specifications for durability and what not.

Honestly, Skelly, if I had ordered my SS, it would've been manual windows/locks, no sunroof, no power mirrors, no cruise, no air, no killer stereo, no sunroof... just the evil engine, trans and suspension in a plain wrapper. All business. No fluff.

By the by, the latest iteration of the Avalanche doesn't look that bad, they did away with the plastic. Looks much cleaner.

Well...I know you want it for TOTAL CONTROL (and possibly world domination) and not fear of 100% FAILURE.
