    A luxury car complete with touchscreens, back when a touchscreen was magical and revolutionary. Car maintenance and privacy concerns have taught me to love the very opposite, a 90s Chevy.

      At first I was embarrassed and disappointed that my new car had absolutely no futuristic modern features whatsoever, just old-fashioned tactile knobs & buttons. But seeing all the Tesla & electric car fiascos & nonsense over the past year, I’m now ridiculously grateful for this basic vehicle I have.

        Anyone who has an old car still has gotta feel some level of vindication right now as new cars for all price brackets are screwed right now on multiple levels.

          My son just bought a 2003 Chevy van and he’s in love. Captains chairs, futon, no screen and he can work on almost every part off it.
