I think I’ll avoid buying cars with already installed GPS’s & just use one that I bought separately.
My dad wonders why I have an old 1980 Plymouth that I want to get back into service asap. No GPS, no complex EFI system, speed control, etc. Just a 360, 4 barrel and a Torqueflite.
They can do it with your cell phone too.
That’s not the only thing new cars have that are a problem. The CVT transmissions are not all they are cracked up to be. We got notice that there could be a class action lawsuit against Honda for the way the CVT things damage engines.
Don’t ask me how it happens, but apparently these new transmissions that car makers use in order to help meet the blasted government’s new fuel standards cause excess oil consumption. Some car dealers are advising Honda owners to check their oil every 1000 miles! You can be driving along the highway and suddenly your engine light will come on, you will be completely out of oil, and your engine is toast.
We’re from the government, and we’re here to help.
And I think I'll stick with my '97 F-250 [cherry condition, 95K miles] which has virtually no electronics save the cassette player.
