Cars have certainly changed over the years, all of the electronics in them and sensors are very aggravating. 

My Ford has a light that goes off when the gas cap isn't tightened, and the jeep uses a sensor to determine the speed for the speedometer reading, i mean why not just a cable like we used to have.

If something is wrong with the car it is usually the electronic system, the system that is suppose to tell me that there is something wrong with the vehicle, what sense does that make.

The other problem is that people now rely on these systems to determine if something is wrong. Whats wrong with opening the hood to check the fluids once and a while, check the tire pressure, and changing the oil on time?

Although we have perfected things like fuel injection, and exhaust waste, give me the old carb that you can adjust with a screwdriver.

When it comes to everything else the word is 'the simpler, the better'. Why not think the same way for a vehicle? If you want to add electronic stuff, add stuff that doesn't make your vehicle stop running and is not connected to the performance of the vehicle such as, hmmmmmm, a good stereo.

And now that car dealers have all there devices that can erase all the error codes on the vehicles main computer what good is the computer to us. The dealer sells you a vehicle and within 90 days the engine light comes on saying something is wrong like the speedometer, thats the engine light that came on before the vehicle was given to you, the one with the code that the dealer cleared out before selling you the vehicle.   Does this mean the vehicle has more mileage than you thought, well guess what, yes it does.

Give me a good oldie, I'll feel much better like a chevy impala, ford galaxy.
