It's shite like that is the reason why I'm planning on staying in the south, so I can just daily my 56 bel air. All it really needs is a AC and I can always just take the heater out and take a normal ac unit apart and put it in. At this rate I'm wondering if that car is going to be more practical than modern cars purely because you don't have to pay to open the window. Sure it may not have the speed as modern car but like even in my z3 I rarely ever go faster than 60mph.
I probably pay less for fuel and subscribed features in my electric car than you do for fuel in your '56 bel air. I definitely pay less for maintenance
Window opening, seat heating, auto tilting wing mirrors are all standard. My subscription covers games, streaming video, always connected internet, self driving features - so I get all the features of yours and more for the base price and just luxuries on subscription
Not all new cars are bad
Car subscription features ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ are people really genuinely ok with this?
The ones I want, yes for me, no for others. That's one of the things I like about the company I bought from, the base model is fine, extras are available that are a genuine ongoing cost (like streaming audio and games) so a subscription is reasonable
Why in the name of fuck do you need games in your car? Jfc
Charging on road trips. It takes half an hour and often it's best to stay with the car
Don't you have a phone to play games on?
Yep, but big screen is good
