Yes.
My wife and I were joking a few months ago about how viable a business opportunity it would be to manufacture cars that are old school. Manual locks, windows, transmission...standard radio, dash gauges ect. Make it so that a person looking for a 1988 Accord can buy something comparable but new.

Not if you drive a 1971 Pontiac HO 455.
Manual locks, windows, transmission..
Could just buy a Jeep.

I drive a '94 Honda KEI truck. Crank windows, open door with a key, manual tranny, etc. It's bullet proof.

I hate that almost every vehicle is huge. 20 years ago there were multiple small cars you could buy with great gas mileage. Now everything is massive.

Amen.
I hate EV's for this reason alone- they are rolling kinetic missiles.

I bought an F-250 last year. Parked beside a '90 version, it's monstrous.

I'd rather have more metal around me than less. Those smart cars really scares me. Just sayin

I'm old school. Old school people "drive" cars.
Newer people "operate" cars.
