Heated windshield , heated mirrors etc, more things to go wrong when out of warranty. I’m happy driving my V6 stick, naturally aspirated engine, no GPS, have a sunroof maybe used it once . None of that turbo, hybrid , CVT, EV, automatic for me.

The great thing about those items is that if they break you just ignore it since obviously you can do without them. I have never had one of those thing that you listed break. GPS is on one's phone now, not usually directly in your car. Good old Waze is the app. for that. And it is free and almost scaringly accurate about everything. If you have Bluetooth connection in your car sound system all directions will come through your car speakers.

I put miles in my cars. CVT last around 100K some owners had their CVT break down prior to 100K. It’s not for me.

My last two have been leases and all my previous owned ones had at least 140K up to 180K on them.

The case of the cat wanting to get out just to get in instantly?

Yup, lol. Although we'll take her out on her leash and we'll make her stay out longer. Which she'll chill for a while and then when she really wants in, we let her back in.

Only sometimes she'll then beg to go out like ten minutes later.

Just finished watchin’ the Auburn/Missouri game.
No dog in that fight, but, between the Missouri kicker that almost won the game, and the other Missouri player that almost ran in the winning score, I’ve rarely seen dumber football in my life.

@FutureCEO -- just wondering how your vacation is going in London? Not sure how many days you planned to be over there, but I hope you're having an enjoyable time, if you're still there.

 

[donaldtoo]

If it makes you feel any better, you're only 10 years older then my oldest daughter!

Thanks, but, I actually never felt bad in the first place…just perspective…!!!

I would think FL residents would more like being in TX at 100 degrees instead of prepping for a monster hurricane coming their way.

 

[donaldtoo]

In Texas, we have heated (a lot of times burning ) seats, steering wheels, and metal seat belt buckles most of the year.
As far as winter goes, my butt heats up the seat plenty fine, my hands heat up the steering wheel, and the seat belt buckle is cool enough to touch…!!!!!

Yes. Yes, I would think they might.

That bad hu?

That bad hu?

Yes. The kicker who they said was 10 for 10 up to that point shanked what would’ve been the game winning field goal to the right, and it was really no longer than a point after kick.
Then, the idiot runner let go of the ball (handegg ) before it touched the plane of the goal line.
I hope they’re still both pounding their heads into a wall…dumber than stumps…!!!!!

Wait.. a fumble in the last seconds?
Or he just dumbly tought he had the goal and dropped the ball before getting into the goal line?

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Well, I had no place to be...

Heated seats . . .

Oh, it's a glorious 46 this morning here!

Its not that cold here. Its supposed to be in the mid 60s as a high and the mid 50s as a low today where I live.

Monday through Friday will have the lows in the 40s though in south eastern Wisconsin unlike northwestern Wisconsin. Northwestern Wisconsin will have lows in the 30s and 40s this week including Tuesday having a low in the low 30s.

That's too cold for me. Heck, it was a high of 70 here today and I'm freezing.

Yes to the your last question.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

I decided to watch the Apple Dumpling Gang on D+ today. I haven't watched it in probably over 10 years; it was one of my favorites growing up. I got it in my head when seeing the wanted signs in BTM when I was in WDW. I'd forgotten how much I liked that movie.

Just saw the craziest thing…
Texas A&M is playing Arkansas, and leading 23-21. Arkansas goes to kick a field goal with about 1:30 on the clock. The ball, literally, bounces off the very top of the right upright into the end zone…!!!!!
Final: A&M 23, Arkansas 21.
