[FWDLK] ARE WE BEING POLITICAL CORRECT

Hi list,

I hear so many people talking about how they must convert over to disc brakes on a car that did not have them originally. WHY? From 56 until disc brakes came out these car were raced and driven at high speed and we had no problem other than a little brake fade. 
     Today a lot of these cars are not only NOT being raced and they are not even being driven near as fast as we use to drive them when they were almost new. However some still think we need disc brakes??????
     Please don't say it is for towing-------who uses a vintage collector car for towing? 
Maybe 1/2 or 1%. When there were fewer people on the highway and we and our cars were younger, maybe some of us drag raced up to a 100 MPH, or just drove up to 100+ MPH but today with the congested highways we just cruise to auto shows and drive it on nice days.  Oh yeah, and dual master cylinders are safer----------Sure and how long will it be before they come out with a quad master cylinder which will be even safer!!!!!!!!!
 
    Of course that is just my opinion, I could be wrong.                                       (but I don't think so)
