Yeah, the tech in vehicles today is what really ages badly. Look at the early 2000’s and the tiny screens. Even stuff from a few years ago look tiny and low res.  Cars aged much better before screens.  

“infinity trains”

Rude, I’m faster than that... Oh we’re talking about something else... My bad.

That’s nearly exactly Android Auto/Apple Carplay except it uses the cars larger built in display.

One would think that the OEMs could team up with Brodit aka Pro-Clip and have their mounts available as optional equipment from the factory.

Lucid, you got some ‘splaining to do. 

To wit: GT350 - The goldilocks of the Mustang world. Slower than an A10 GT in a drag race and not quite as fast out on track as a GT500 but oh so satisfying thinks to a well-tuned manual trans equipped chassis and Ford deciding to use a wonky even for flat-plane cranks crankshaft high revving V8!

Got talked into buying a new Soul for the wife. Mainly city driving. But it’s kind of awesome. I’m 6'6" and it’s the most comfortable car I’ve driven in a while. It’s like a magic trick.
