I can't go back to a car without keyless remote entry, daytime running lights, heated seats, and steering wheel radio controls. I can't, I won't.

You know, I agree with most of these. Although I've never turned on heated seats in my personal car. My wife's car has them and she turned them on one day without my knowledge. I thought I was having an aneurisym, or something.

Daytime running lights are conspircy with lightbulb mfg'ers....to sell bulbs.

Think our dependency on oil is high now...

If all car required them gas would be $5 gallon.

No. I'm just sick of rental cars.

My Silverado lets me reprogram if the doors autolock or not. Maybe your Ford does too? Did you check the manual?

My wife's Honda does an annoying thing that I haven't been able to get around. If you unlock the car with the key remote, but don't open the door within a minute, it relocks itself. :shake:

ROFL For most of this, you can thank DOT (Department Of Transportation), NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Association) and other similar organizations.
They’re not do’n their job if they aren’t force’n stupid requirements meant to save the dumbasses of society at the expense of increased auto prices.

Also, when did they start making "put your fucking seat belt on!" noises? I always wear my seat belt, but occasionally it takes me a few seconds before I get around to securing it. Do I really need an alarm?

You probably have the ability to turn both the autolocks and the seatbelt chime off. Call your local dealer's service department and ask them how to turn them off.

Your mom is like a flat tire...when she gets low from carrying all that extra weight strangers will stick their "hoses" in her and expand her frame... sometimes causing her to tear or rip. Oh yeah, and she likes to be cleaned well before she gets a "rim-job"

No one likes a ripped or torn tire.

I like my auto on lights, but hate daytime running lights. I could care less about heated seats, I want seats that cool me off more then anything (and I know some cars that have that). I have a dashboard, I can see when the door is open just by looking at it, and I have to because my son doesn't always close his door hard enough.

Though the feature that would really suck is on my Mom's car, when it sprinkles or rains outside the cruise turns off...

Sounds like somebody has sugar in their gas. Better taste it!

Now that would annoy the chit out of me.

Or check your owner’s manual.
