Modern cars - why I hate them

[C.A.R.]

Basically Tom, you're talking like a consumer and not a car enthusiast.

The pursuit of 'more' is what is ruining the modern car. A new Astra can't possibly have less features than the previous one, or the consumer won't be interested. So it gains more gadgets, which adds weight. So it gains more power, to overcome that weight.

Driving a car is becoming far easier, but is that really a good thing? I did fit bluetooth handsfree in my previous cars but won't bother again. I am a salesman too, but any phonecall whilst I'm driving can wait until I've arrived.

Also, please stop talking about your crusty old diesel VW like it was supersonic, it makes you sound a bit retarded.
