Technology Connections - Come watch a autistic man sperg over a fridge for 1 hour straight

My main fear: The certified letter from my dealer

Whether you're buying a new or used car, unfortunately it's the responsibility of every buyer to learn if the vehicle and the dealer it's purchased from is reputable.
Internet connectivity can be considered as a bad thing because the manufacturer and dealer can spy on you, but you can always refuse it because it costs money to keep a car connected at all times.

It doesn't cost money to keep a car connected - if you are selling the data. It MAKES money.
Especially if you receive 'traffic bounties' from detected infractions (coming soon!), and/or rewards from insurance providers.
Hell, every insurance company USED to beg you to install a tracking chip on your car, so they could monitor your 'habits' (like habitually going 10mph over the limit).
Notice how that has slowly gone away? They don't need to anymore, they just pay your manufacturer for the data.

That's why my 'new' car purchased last week is a 2007 Ford. Still has a CD player. Doesn't have bluetooth or even an option for Sirius.
Never was at a dealer - so no GPS tracking module. Private sale - cash. And only 60k miles.
Yes. I got lucky, VERY lucky. I took the seller out for drinks afterwards, he's a friend.

With the bills that Congress is passing lately, I'm not buying anything that has a screen. I MAY build a kit car next.

The latest batch of imports already have a cabin camera that scans the driver's eyes, performing a HGN. Congress isn't happy with only that and wants a direct BA touch sensor on the steering wheel.

Nobody cares about minivans unless your a mother.

The only "cool minivan" is the Mercedes r500 and r63 amg and even then this is more a station wagon.

(I am a car sperg) and I know that a vehicle like this would make mr technology connections get super upset because these have a v8 and isn't a hybrid

Total minivan death.

My hatred of the minivan started with Full Throttle and has only grown since then.

Even more so when my first car accident was sliding into the back of one in the rain when I was 17, lol.

I forget I'm still subscribed to his extra channel, and I get recommended this.
Dios Mios La Creatura!

There is way too much cope about the inconveniences of electric cars.

The cost is also quite high depending on how much those fast chargers cost (if you do a lot of charging on the go for highway driving); even if gas wasn't expensive as it is currently, it's still more expensive to charge on the go vs gas.

New second channel video. Three minutes in and he's already kvetching about America being "car-centric".

Devil's advocate: For every Alec theres an American incorrectly gloating about how Europe is supposedly car-free and people are somehow tram/bus-centric. If you cringe at Alec, you now know how I feel when someone tells me I'm somehow banned from driving because of the omnipresent Them (jews, communists, insert whoever you think)

For all the criticism of the UK's retarded old world defamation laws, Germany actually doesn't believe that you own your own property that you bought and paid for. If you own your car then you can use it at your discretion, including choosing to only fill it with gasoline and not use the battery charger. The fact that the car company believe they can take away your car's functionality without your permission though some software update means that you don't own the car even when it's your property. That's how crazy Germany is; your property it's even yours. The contracts they use to rationalise it should be illegal. Nobody reads them because it takes too long and if they did they wouldn't understand the contract because it's written to be intentionally deceptive. There is no "meeting of the minds" with a contract of adhesion and the customer is being coerced into accepting because they need to use the car they just bought or software they just bought. On top of the lack of balance between the company and the customer the company reserves the right to retroactively change the contract and force it on you like they did the last version of the contract without any limits to what they can change in the terms. The companies can make anything they want enforceable by using the right legal language and updating the contract; they run circles around the customer and the customer is helpless.

Technology Connections is fat and his voice is annoying.

'Shrink-Wrap' contract law is the start of this evil.
All evil starts with law/lawyers.
'By purchasing this vehicle, you agree that you do not actually own this vehicle..."
-and this technology simp just keeps sucking that dick dry.

Imagine applying this mindset to any early-mid 20th century technologies.
"By opening this box, you agree that this vacuum cleaner has the right to spy on you 24/7/365 and we will sell that data to enemy nations that may or may not use it to steal from your bank account and steal your identity."
