There’s one feature in modern cars that I really hate. The massive, bright, central screens. I don’t need it! When I got rid of my BMW that’s one feature I hated and I looked around for what I could order that had no huge screen. I hate hate hate those screens!!!!
@THM_T17 I wanted a truck and I found that Isuzu did one with all the off road goodies that had a low end entertainment system without a screen 😄 I’m in heaven now. In the BMW it could be turned off but you had to go through the menus to do it.
@THM_T17 it was funny because the other thing I hate are huge wheels. And when I got the Isuzu the dealer offered to upgrade to a screen and bigger wheels very affordably and I was like “Noooooo! Those are downgrades”.
@gpowerf while back I did some research on the larger wheels and they're less fuel efficient. Then their uses but not fuel efficiency.
I've seen Isuzus before, they seem to run forever. Bet they can upgrade to a standard stereo without a display if you want or into that kind of thing. Me, I have to have good sound on my car.

Modern tech: Fuck you in particular.
@admitsWrongIfProven peak car practicality was reached in 79 😉
@gpowerf looks like a shelf ready for anything you could ever want on the road :-)
@gpowerf @admitsWrongIfProven that doesn’t look like a Volvo 240 🤔
@wiredfire @admitsWrongIfProven Volvo 240s are also fine vehicles, I had one. A mini tank. The Swedish equivalent to the Caprice I posted.
@wiredfire @admitsWrongIfProven basically the 240 and the Caprice are pickup trucks with car bodies 😂
@gpowerf @admitsWrongIfProven I still enjoy that for generations when you asked a young child to draw a car they invariably drew something that looked am awful lot like a 240 😂
@wiredfire @admitsWrongIfProven honestly I still draw something square much like a Caprice or 240. That’s what a real car shape is like.
@gpowerf but they are so useful!
@wiredfire @gpowerf that does sound terrible
@gpowerf look for the low end models there's still some without a screen oh, also you can dim it. Just make sure you can upgrade if you want some features without having a screen.
