New cars can drive you nuts!(rant)

[Hatterasguy]

I hate driving almost all newer cars. Its like having your old 3rd grade teacher in the passangers seat reminding you to behave!

I love how our old MB's pretty much give the middle finger to all this modern nanny crap.

No shifter interlock. Its a car, if you can't figure it out you really shouldn't be driving.

I can start the engine any damn time I want, as long as its not in gear. No having to depress the brake pedal BS.

Door locks that do not lock you in. If your dumb enough to open one and fall out, well MB figured they were doing the world a favor.

Not locking you out of adjusting the seat as your driving.

They have a real parking brake, not this auto parking brake BS.

They have a loud annoying buzzer that tells you when you are doing something wrong/dumb in proper German fashion. Its like the car is saying moron you left your lights on, and I ain't shutting them off for you. I don't like that damn Chevy bing, bing, bing!

Not having an annoying seat belt buzzer that goes off if you don't have your belt on when the car is in gear. MB figured that if you wanted to kill yourself they were not going to stop you.

No cup holders, I love this! The Germans way of saying pay attention to the road you crazy Americans!

Rant off.
