    I would be 100% fine with that. If I want my car to have a screen, I’ll stick my phone to the dashboard somewhere.

    My current car has a regular double DIN head unit in it, which I can take out and replace at will (or just replace with a big 3D printed pocket for all I care). I am dreading ever having to purchase a newer car, because I know it’s going to be wall-to-wall integrated proprietary electronic bullshit blaring in my face and nagging for subscriptions all the time and it’ll be impossible to disable or remove.

      I have a car with the bullshit.

      The built-in Bluetooth is laggy, and this on what was a high end car at the time.

      Glad I got it for less than half of new price.

        People ask me why I have so many motorcycles. Lots of reasons, really.

        But I think I just decided on a new one. All of my motorcycles have no bullshit. A full manual riding experience; one engine, two wheels, the road, you. End of list. Two of them are fancy enough that they include a clock. That’s the full extent of rider distraction features.
