    If I ever have to buy a car, I’ll either get a used one from the 00’s or look for a “dumb” one. The amount of power that manufacturers wield over our own devices that we bought and paid for these days is nauseating.

        Well it’s a crazy good thing nobody is able to edit video with cuts! And that getting a laser printer at home is highly illegal. And doing something to your vehicle pre trip and setting this marketing up for your career, also Impossible. Nobody in the history of vehicles has done anything like drain their oil to try and grab a free engine off warranty. Never. Not even once.

        Definitely 100% true.
