     @gen I do not object to your preferences and in fact I appreciate that people do like new cars because cars have to be new before they become old and I will consider buying them

     @gen probably! but I don't want an entertainment system I want a 3.5mm jack and solid speakers
     
     actually I say that but being able to play m4a files from a CD and have controls on the steering wheel has been nicer than expected. still. it has a one-line 16seg display and that's about the max of what I'd want

     @gen I don't dislike them in concept but they provide no tangible advantage to me over something older while also including a bunch of annoyances in newer ones

     @gen (to be clear I know that EFI will get you more power and be a lot more efficient than a carburettor so I don't _hate_ it ... but one of these needs a computer to fix/tune and the other needs a screwdriver)

     @gen mmm I get extremely annoyed with things that (in my mind) should be simple and dumb trying to be smart at me, acting like they know better
     
     hence all of my everything being as stupid as possible because until I get a robot girlfriend I'm the one with a brain, not any of the computers
     
     I already distrust the electronic fuel injection in my car on principle (why computer when mechanism can do same job)

     @gen while I'm at it, it may amuse you to know that the aftermarket head unit my car came with _does_ have bluetooth but I've never bothered to use it when the 3.5mm jack is right there for my phone already
