I think we've gone way too far with making cars more complicated than they need to be. I was in a new 7 series BMW yesterday because I needed to move it to get my truck out of the driveway & I couldn't figure out how to start the damn thing! Heaven help me if I needed to use the radio or heating system with that mouse wheel thing they've got!

There are laws against using a phone that I talk to and it dials the number while I hold it to my head, but there are no laws against all of these gadgets they're installing in cars now - talk about distracted driving!

If somebody would just come out again with a car that uses a key and a radio with two posts for dial & volume I think they would have a HUGE market!

Damned straight!

Just wait 'til folks have to pay to repair some of this garbage, after their warranty runs out. OUCH!

That radio has to have preset buttons.....and the car has to have A/C for us southern folks.
