In the last few months I have noiticed that there are more IDIOT features
put into cars lately.
Back in the day cars had a needle for the temperature, alternator, gas and
speed.
Now there is a computer read out for speed, temp, AC, volts and god knows what.

"SERVICE ENGINE SOON"??
That should be changed to
"Hey this light is on to prepare you to get the reaming of your life.
either it's a three dollar part and a 500 dollar labor charge or a 1,900 dollar widget and the labor is free. So, wait in the customer area, drink stale coffee and pray that the service tech don't come out and ask you to bend over and drop trou......"

Your car can paralell park, warn you of things behind your bumper, warn you of things in your way....The commercial shows some moron talking to his squeeze when the lights in the dashboard flash to warn him he is coming up on another car.
He twists the steering wheel into the next lane and passes the car...
what happens when that lane is occupied?
refridgerated glove compartments and cup holders, heated cup holders\
rear view cameras, blue tooth and dvd players, Play station and computer modems.
I wish I could put tires on my house and drive it on the road

A few weeks ago two cars crashed head on, when the cops got there the laptop in the front seat of one car was still booted up...AH was probably answering email at the time,...
GPS and ON STAR.
I would love to be an ON STAR rep.....
"Hi ON STAR, I am lost!"
"So, if you are lost how do you expect me to know where you are?"

Some high end cars will e maiil you to let you know that you have to go to the dealer for a 350 dollar spark plug change?
I love the fact that I can do all the work myself in my driveway and know exactly how much it will cost me for labor.....
Nothing, plus the cost of a cold drink after I am done....
I love technology!
