Modern cars have too many gadgets

idk why people need cameras and sensors that beep when something's close, for me the thump and/or scream is enough

It feels like boomer humor but it's really good

Ngl even 50 minutes by car is an insane commute to me. My commute is 30-40 by bike.
Mine is 90 minutes by car each way, but only twice a week.

I have an older car with no backup camera, but I frequently drive my parents' cars which both have backup cameras. Often, when I'm driving my own car, I find myself backing up while staring uselessly at my center console. Haven't heard any screams or crunching noises so far, fingers crossed.
...never hurts to get your hearing checked?

Sounds like a Ron White joke or something

Thanks (speeduino) but...all my cars are 35 years old. No data port available.
In the U.S., ODB-I was mandated beginning in model year 1988, and ODB-II was mandated for all cars beginning in model year 1996. Technically, California mandated it, but the manufacturers all made their entire U.S. models comply with California rules for easier logistics.
ODB-I had terrible standardization and requires a bunch of model/make specific stuff to properly interface with, but in theory the 35-year old cars do have some kind of data port available.

Oops, most of my cars are 1985. more like 40 years old now. I do have a 1989 Ford Ranger but it has some special proprietary data port and when I bought the special reader it wouldn't read. I have to use BRAIN POWER to keep it running.

I love the cars which only have the must have versions of modern tech. You usually get them in like budget oriented cars from a few years back. Has a parking radar but it only beeps and doesnt have cameras. Has the anti tailgate brake thingy without a bunch of other gizmos. Pretty sure you can also retrofit cars with these if youre into some diy, they actually help you with driving/parking without distracting you.

I'd rather spend a week fixing my car than spend a week earning enough money to pay the dealer to work on my car.
I mean sure, but there's reasons the owner's manual and service manual are two different pdfs.
Some processes require more knowledge than can easily be described on a page or require specialized tools.

Should've followed up "must've been one of those 4D movies, I even felt the bump"

For me the thump and scream means they're not close any more, but touching.
*Butt touching

With a nod to Django Gold.
From this full show, that's also very funny.
