    I really REALLY hope someone at some point starts a gasoline to electric car conversion company at some point.

    I love my car because it has just the right amount of technology: Bluetooth connectivity for calls and music. That’s it. That’s all I need.

      Yup. Unfortunately, since most people seem to prefer the dystopian futuretech, all auto manufacturers are going to employ it. Just like with cell phones. The last phone I know of with 16:9 aspect ratio and no blighted hole punch or notch was in 2018. There’s a market full of us luddites who prefer the old ways, but we’re invisible to manufacturers because it’s more profitable to make something that more people want to buy, and we’re forced to buy that garbage as well anyway.

    Sometimes the updates aren’t even worth it.

    Toyota said my prius needed an update so I installed the app for it. All the update did was remove fucking features that were usable in the car. Used to have the option to use Pandora from the console but it got removed randomly by an update.

    Then they installed an Alexa search page that glitches my console if I every select it.

    Basically I’m saying FUCK TOYOTA
