So does this one.

Dangle a tin can on a string out the window and listen to the rate of the jingle jangle on the pavement?

OG Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball Z.

That’s the Cuntbus

Hard disagree. It is SO much faster for me to read a digital number readout than a analogue one.

This isn't touch screen controls (which are terrible). It's a readout.

What's wrong with that?

I’d kill for one that was positioned so I could see it. I keep my steering wheel low and my hands cover the speedometer.

You’re thinking of cornbus

They're notorious money pits, partially because they're also notoriously stupid to work on.

In my opinion, the worst part about new cars is that they are essentially tracking devices and some of them can be remotely controlled. Nice!

What are the things that you don't like? I'm in the market for a new (used) vehicle and Mazda seems to top a lot of charts for the past several years but I've never driven one.

I've put 80k miles on one Kia and just got a Hyundai with 100k miles on it. I've not once had something need replacement that wasn't an expected wear item at about the expected interval. I also witnessed a Kia get pinned against the median on the beltline by a speeding car that lost control and while it was definitely totaled, the occupants were uninjured.

So my annecdotal experience has been quite positive

Mazda MX5. I have a 2019 and it's simple. Heated seats, blindspot mirrors, backup camera, led headlights. Absolute joy to drive.

No other tech that tracks you as far as I'm aware.

On my vehicle, those type of controls are moved to the steering wheel

The Civic's split dash was apparently generally hated, but I really liked it, for just that reason... The year after mine they switched it back to a single cluster, which I think is unfortunate

There is a website that you can opt out of having certain data tracked.

But I imagine insurance companies will use it as an excuse to raise your rates if you opt out

And on top of that, at any moment, they (Tesla) can remove pretty much any feature they feel like in a push update, which they have done... Personally, I think removing existing features from already sold products should be illegal, flat out

Yeah I thought since I'm old I'd be like gimme the old way, but I would actually prefer simplicity for regular commutes.

But I feel like not even car companies want me to have simplicity so they can monetize more doodads

Laurel Raven

Mine's a fully digital one but they have animations on the sides that give that sort of feedback... Without it, though, yeah, I think it would make me feel more disconnected from driving, which isn't exactly a good thing

I so very much preferred speedometers like that which had every 10 marked rather than every 20 like so many seem to do
