Buncha frigging whiners.
Does it really affect your driving? No.
This is an old man yelling at the clouds flavor to it.
I have rented vehicles that have it on them.
And yes it does affect the driving. There is a noticeable pause and delay in trying to take off quickly from a stop.
It is more than an annoyance. Glad you could contribute. Even though your contribution equated to a swing and a miss.
