And I don't need any of that. And I'm 'only' fifty years old - at the high age end of the market that supposedly is demanding all this inter-connected nonsense
50 years old, I’ll be 66 in April and I’ve had all the things you just love 3 on the tree 4 on the floor no ac that was a option in the l70’s, iv had floor vents, side window vents, bench seats, no seatbelts and drum breaks all the way around. I do miss some of those features but i like the way vehicles are equipped today. No more carburetors going out of sink, no more points and no more manual drum breaks or manual steering. You’re not old enough to witness all of those old vehicle systems.

I remember most of those things. I never said I was against all automotive progress since the 1960s-'70s, just against the nonsense(post-2010).
You can say I have 'old' tastes for my age, and am proud of it!
I still have a big honkin' antenna on my house roof to pick up broadcast TV. Works like a charm!

How close are you to the nearest transmitters though? TVFool has a great tool to determine that.
I live approx. 30miles north-northeast of lower Manhattan(NY City), so I need a large aerial to pull in that market. And with this new ATSC digital nonsense, I still get occasional dropouts and macro-blocking(purple squares).

Automotive topic?
No.
Just "GRRRRRR...digital bad...analog good...GRRRRR"
The more electronic gadgets a vehicle has the bigger repair bill you get. These car companies have us all in a bind!
Agreed. I love our simple, manual transmission 10' honda civic. After our model year the civics got all the gadgetry of the Accord.
