I feel that. The parts options for older vehicles is pretty slim these days

Parts options these days for old cars is often a junkyard that has a wrecked car but parts you need that aren't wrecked and also Facebook marketplace has a lot of people posting cars they want to part out that are just sitting in their garage or driveway. But obviously as cars get older, the options get harder.

I have to keep this in mind when I decide what my next car will be because 100% do not like new cars. I don't want to own any car that I have to take to the dealership or some licensed mechanic or whatever because the maintenance/repair is not something I can do myself.

Oh, I know. My fleet of old BMWs often requires a trip to eBay

I hate when I have to fly out of town for work trips and get a rental. I hate all the buttons and things. The only thing I care about, other than air conditioning, is if there's a jack to plug my phone in to play my own music because I have no idea what the radio stations are.

Oh, and push button start, hate those too. One work trip, I was 'upgraded' no charge to a Nissan Altima and I told them I don't want it. Give me that Sentra because it's turn key ignition.

Anytime I'm watching TV and there's a commercial about whatever new car, part of me wants to throw the remote at the TV because the commercials highlight a bunch of features I don't give a flying fuck about.

*steps off soap box*

I miss my Caddy. The analog nature of the car was exactly what I wanted.
The new fangled ding ding... waaaa... waaa and other safety features that keep yelling at me are just bullshit.

To your point... push button. Fucking crap.

Ok boomers

 

[budman]

Kuro is not anywhere near boomerville.

If you young kids knew how da fuuuck to drive we would not need all those safety features.

It's weird defending your crazy as not the crazy they are trying to describe but as a different crazy.

I'm not even that bad lol. Give me heated seats, comfort access and android auto please and thank you. But I'd like to keep physical buttons for interior features. No touch screen bullshit!

No touch screen bullshit!

I like a car with an analog clock that doesn't work.

 

[budman]

I will give kudos to Porsche on the clock. It has hands. Shows tick marks for the second hand to stroll over and it DOES NOT BEEP!

Ok boomers

I am 47 and pushbutton touch screen stuff in cars can eat ass.

I'll own the old man gif...

Recently watching shows on Tubi, during the commercials they constantly play the ad for the new Lincoln Navigator and it has a dashboard that looks like someone's screens that's an intense PC gamer that spent a lot of money on their setup. I was like... Holee fawk even, if I was deep in the high 6 figures of a salary, nothing about that SUV is desirable.

looks like Bolt is going to pull an all nighter, he hasn't done that in a couple of weeks.

Darty cat did that last night. It’s stressful thinking of them out in the wild.

 

[tuxumino]

yeah, he gave me the slip right around dusk.

 

[AbsolutEnduser]

am wondering if a coworker with a Smart for two is actually homeless. Bc he had a whole lotta plastic and paper bags in the passenger seat in the parking lot.

(No I didn't ride with him, I just walked by his car)

Just like all my wristwatches ...

Except the $14 dolla one from Casio I got on sale.

I love my ultra wide curved gaming monitor but I hate the dashboard-wide screens in cars!

I swear, dubs (or someone similar to him) has already started a thread “omg I bought my first pair of work boots” , once before..

 

[i_am_the_koi]
