Precisely.

On the upside, the glass tiles are apparently so strong they're basically bulletproof.

It’s about as realistic as a metallic hydrogen-fuelled car.

They only have a sliver of the market because they're expensive. Once they reach price parity there will be a significant shift, though it will take time to propagate through the vehicle fleet, as the median vehicle age is approximately 12 years (again showing the price sensitivity of the market).

You don’t *have* to have your thumb up your arse.

If you're not carrying gallons of your own piss in Gatorade bottles in the passenger footwell, is it really even a roadtrip at all?

It will sure as shit be more reliable than the newer one...

A classic Mustang would be right near the top of my list in this case.

Get one of those then...

I mean, Mercedes suggested a car that won't even be here for the first sixth of that year, minimum.

At this stage a 15-year-old car won’t depreciate much in a year.

That’s a shitty situation, but it’s cool that you can do something enjoyable for her in the time she has left. There will probably be a lot of sensible suggestions, but how about this:

Yep - it’s really not good at all there right now. It's as bad if not worse than pre-referendum Ireland.

Poland is probably not one you should include in that group, given the entire governing party seems to be rabidly anti-abortion and extremely conservative in general.

Continental, VDO, Kienzle and Bosch all make units that probably do what you want Blaupunkt too, but they're more expensive. Look for retro head units or truck ones.
