Archer really nails the car side of things. I’d can’t wait to see the episode!

I should have expected that something like this would happen eventually, what with not being very mechanically inclined and impulsively trading my ‘04 Tahoe for a ‘76 Alfa Romeo Spider. I (my mechanic by way of my bank account) managed to keep it running well enough for a bout a year while I daily drove it. Even

I feel like this is all getting really very silly - Car companies incorporating so much tech into their cars that, in my opinion, the average person just doesn't need and probably wont use. All of this tech is pushing out the "home mechanic", basically requiring a computer engineering or computer science degree to
