I love tech…but tech in vehicles has gotten to the point where I miss having a simple dash with a cd player (or even cassette deck haha). I think my next car might be a 15 year old V8 with a stick…because we know that’s disappearing.

My driveway is on an angle…and if I back up too quickly, my ‘22 Civic auto slams the brakes. I leave the system on because that one time it might actually be helpful.

Jodi and Dan, You may "make car stuff simple for Canadians" but car companies certainly do not. 🤨

Let’s make ourselves clear by what you define as “old people”. I’m a GenX, 55 years old and am fully ok using and adapting to technology, why?, because people of my generation grew up with technology and were the first generation to use computers as a part of their daily lives. By “old”, you may be thinking of Baby Boomers which did not necessarily grow up with technology or the advent of computers in their daily lives and are more stubborn to adapt.

Neither of us would classify 55 as old, that’s for sure! -Dan & Jodi
