They are making these new electronically controlled cars with hundreds of complicated electronic controls intricately entwined between each other which boggles even the technical mind. This "hydra" connected to the "black boxes" have become so complicated that the dealers cannot fix them "new". What's going to happen 10 years later when these electronics will start shorting & burning out? Better find a way to fix it cause Uncle Sam will fail it at the inspection Welcome to the new age of trully disposable cars

Folks take another long hard look at your diesel pet peeves - it's nothing compared to whats coming!
