This probably sounds crazy, but I put painters tape along the driver's side door sill to protect it when I take my car in. Tired of getting scuff marks from shoes on it.
I tend to agree about the screen being distracting. I really don't use the features on mine with the exception of the AVE. I did use the heat this past fall before I put it into storage. Again, it's a toy and not my daily driver.
I agree with you 100%. :like: I have friends who think all the latest options are the best thing since sliced bread. Personally, they're not for me and I don't enjoy or need them.
I think you can have the best of both worlds. I could have ordered a base GT, but again I was thinking ahead about the resale value. Maybe that's a crazy way to look at it, but that's my reasoning. Technology and gadgetry don't impress me, particularly in a car that I typically drive 2k-3k miles...
Sounds good. :like: All my Corvettes and the Mustang are strictly toys. Never drove any of my Corvettes in the rain. My Mustang has been driven in the rain once. I'm blessed to be able to pick and choose the summer days I want to drive. Don't use the radio in the Mustang either unless it's a...
I'm sure you're right and I'll give it a try. I've never been a fan of A/C in my cars or at home. Don't even use it much in my daily drivers. Just me. I never used it in either of my C7 Z06's, but my '16 only had 3,000 miles on it when I sold it, and my '19 had 4,000 miles on it when I sold it...
FYI I have a 2018 Malibu and a 2017 Ford Escape in my driveway. Yes, I do have an optioned out 2024. I very seldom use air conditioning or any of the other features. I was thinking ahead to resale value because that's what younger people want today.
I was alive in the 40's and 50's. (No old age comments, please.) I think there are a number of contributing factors today, just as there were back then. Yes, cars have become much more complex and efficient. It seems to me that car manufacturers are constantly trying to outdo each other when it...
