I had a 2016 GMC Sierra. Cost $100 a week to take my son to daycare. Sold it and got a Sienna Hybrid and a classic truck for hauling shit. I hate all the technology in cars these days. My van tracks me and in the app it says "this feature can be disabled but the tracking will not stop" or to that affect. Garbage.
I too am fed up with all the data rape. Fuck off car companies, greedy assholes.
It's not just FUD either, this shit is actively happening NOW: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technology/carmakers-driver-tracking-insurance.html
After you traded your Sierra for a Sienna, did you take a Siesta?
five-speed manual transmission
I like having an automatic transmission. The vehicle in the article isn't gonna do it for me.
You know they come in automatic, too? 4-speed, usually.
So you don't like actually driving.
You're goddamn right I don't, but I don't have a choice due to where I live. A car is a tool to me, in the same way that a vacuum cleaner or a push lawnmower is a tool. The most important thing a car should do for me is reliably get me from point a to point b in relative comfort. I could give a fuck about the "true driving experience" of a manual transmission.
But has he owned an Alfa?
