Same people who push road diets, complete streets, and in general the get-those-lazy-sonsabitches-outta-their-fuckin-cars jerks. -- Cheers, Bev Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely and in a well preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, and shouting HOLY SHIT, WHAT A RIDE!!! |

Obama's Cash for Clunkers destroyed a number of perfectly good vehicles in an attempt to drive up new car sales. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj2cD8Q5hS8 Apparently the politicians never read Bastiat. I've been casually looking a new cars. I have a real problem. There is a long list of crap I have no desire to have in a car. Somehow I've managed to drive for over 50 years without lane control, forward collision avoidance, automatic braking, backup cameras, and so forth. Not having a smart phone, I don't give a damn if the 'infotainment' system has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or Bluetooth. Someplace where I can stick in a thumb drive loaded with MP3s would be nice. Then there is the next problem. Most of the cars are either indistinguishable bland blobs or the designers have went out of their way to beat them with an ugly stick to make them more 'aggressive'. Sorry, I'm the aggressive part of the picture and I don't need the car to look like a star wars lander. And lastly, if there is something I might be interested in the local dealers don't carry it. If it's not a SUV or crossover forget about it. So that leads to my interest in used cars with the features I want but they don't seem to be that less expensive than a new car. |

I haven't found a hacker yet to do it. > "I know that there are people in this world > who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that." > - Tom Lehrer antimony arsenic aluminum selenium Nils |
