I own two cars. The newest is a 2013 because it's before touchscreens became standard equipment. I'm gonna limp those bitches along until either I die or that trend reverses.

Actually, I am wondering if these dumb things can be replaced with aftermarket stuff. I kinda have my doubts. I miss when you could just pull the stereo out yourself and slide a new one into the bay like a disc drive on a PC.

I hope you don't have to limp them along. My newest vehicle is from 2007, and my oldest from '84. They aren't limping, they run and drive quite well.

Well one runs like a top. The other I need to replace the suspension on but the engine is sound.
