I don’t know if I could do a new car.
5 speed manual transmission, roll up windows, knobs for climate and radio, the key goes in the ignition. I need to keep this car running forever because i despise most new features ìn modern cars. Soon enough the fucking steering wheel is going to be touch screen.
Hook up an Xbox/PlayStation controller using Bluetooth XD
VR head set, a ton of cameras, and animated third person view. Unlock new skins the more miles you put on the car.
I feel this. My car has a super straightforward drivetrain (2003 Miata) and pretty simple electronics that I can follow and understand.
Looking under the hood of modern cars, half the time it’s so enclosed, you just see plastic and once you get past that, it’s an intertwined rats nest of complicated components.
On top of that, modern interiors are just loaded with features I don’t need. Give me driving, climate and radio controls. I don’t need anything more.
Don’t even get me started on all the assist features. I’m driving. I’ll handle the wheel, thanks.
