That has killed a lot of my interest in new cars, too. The newest vehicle in our garage is from 2010. I like the simplicity of earlier cars.
Now, everything is computer controlled. Throttle by wire. Electronic parking brake. The hood/trunk release. Automatic headlights. Heck, even turning on and off the engine via push button. (Is it one push, or two? I pushed the start/stop button; if the engine's off, how come the radio won't turn off?) Wait 'til something breaks or malfunctions. I'm not going to have any idea how to fix it, either roadside or even in my own garage at home. Off to the dealer we go, to reset the system.
Get off my lawn!
