The increasing computerization of automobiles has been an un-necessary "advance" if you ask me. There was a time when I could change my oil or replace a sparkplug. Now I don't even know where the dipstick is. I recently had to spend $300 to replace the transmission cooling lines. Who invented transmission cooling lines? We never needed that when we had a clutch!
I have a solution: Make cars simple again.
My 1957 4 cylinder Volkswagen "Beetle" ran on 36 horsepower and got over 30 miles per gallon, I didn't have a radio or A/C or even a gas gauge. It had 4 forward gears and got me where I wanted to go.
That's all we need folks. We don't need luxury cars or electric vehicles, or all the stupid stuff that drive the cost of a car beyond affordable -- or fixable by the local gas pump jockey. Call me a Luddite! We are on the wrong road, and our cars have become too big to park and too automated.
BRING BACK THE BUG!
