Of course you don't have a remote control on your TV either or a cordless phone and lets not forget a SMART PHONE....more than likely you miss PAY PHONES.....get with it....you live in the age of technology.....I for one LOVE what is in our cars now....We have 460HP in our Stingrays and get 30 MPG I suppose you want to go back to 12 MPG and 350 HP....just say'n
