General Suburban Updates and Rumours

Not everything mechanical is complicated and prone to failure.

Anyway, I had no idea they were mechanical. That's neat. Always thought they used a magnetic feature and if you search online for magnetism and carts you get a lot of discussion, but I guess it's more a misconception (likely due to the fact magnets would work too).

I didn't say it was prone to failure--I have no idea what the absolute failure rate is, but compared with a passive system performing the same function, a mechanical system will obviously be inherently more likely to fail.

I'm curious to see the cart mechanism and I'll be back in the region in December, but I'm not certain if I can justify a trip to a grocery store or not especially as I will be sans automobile.
