dude i was just talking about this on facebook and i agree with you 100%, there is too much crap in cars, dont forget heated and cooled seats, why???, do it like the 60s nice and simple, all these extra features just jack up the price of the car... and require more energy to run all these features, which means more resistance on the engine, which means reduced performance and fuel economy. i would buy a car where its only accessory was a small radio, beacuse thats the only accessory i care for. everything ells can go screw.... DVD players, GPS, Air Bags, Air Conditioning, Heated Cooled seats, Major stereo systems which require amps of energy to run, ABS, Power seats, Power windows, Millions of cup holders, Integrated cigarette lighters, tuns of interior lighting, all the buttons and knobs and lights to run all this crap, fancy passenger climate control, all this stupid fancy interior crap, traction control, Govenors, black boxes, Emmitions control, Alarms, cruse control, AUTOMATIC PARRELELL PARKING WTF IS THIS GARBADGE!!! just give me a nice car, with some get up and go... and a nice small simple radio that you can put a CD in and plug your MP3 in and im happy dude! wow...    what really makes me sick is they offer a GPS in a Corvette, WTF DUDE!!!

when i was in High school we where asked to design a car... that ran on a alternative fuel, for fun i picked Ethenall, but i also designed one that ran of Biodiesel, and Hidrogen, and Electric. but the car didn't even have a radio, it was a small little two seat car, with a little 200HP in line 4, the car weighed under 2,000LB it was a little larger than a smart car but a lot more heavily constructed, i called it the Minny Max.

may i also add that i don't mind aluminum wheels beacuse they save weight which makes vehicles more efficient and improve performance, however... we don't need to get all fancy dancy with it, just leave the fancy bullcrap for Buick, Cadillac, and Rolls Royce....
