    I’m lucky enough that I’ve got a barebones 2003 that still runs great. Analog gauges, double DIN radio slot, and nothing else. Every time I get in a modern car, it’s information overload.

    I don’t need a bell coddler. I need 4 wheels and a reliable engine.

    Cars should be treated a lot more like factory equipment and a lot less like a living room on wheels.

      The tradeoff is safety though. Surviving a crash without death or major injuries is much more likely in modern cars. ESP systems also decrease the likelihood of crashing in the first place.
