I both laugh at and shake my head in despair when I see the “improvements” made to automobiles. “Sure it only gets 6.3 miles to the gallon and the accelerator gets stuck and the airbags deploy when they shouldn’t, but get a load of those cup holders!”
Some features like blind spot warning and backup cameras are good. Replacing my radio button with a computer screen isn’t such a good idea. Now instead of reaching for a dial, I take my eyes off the road to play with the touch screen and search for several seconds to find the app to change the station.
Dflak: but, but … Progress!I have a list of annoying “improvements”. Recirculating that turns itself off, fat fobs instead of keys, wedge shapes that make it difficult to see what’s behind you, LED headlights, headlights at eye level, giant speedometers that show the speed as a number – which changes constantly, and yes, touch panels instead of buttons.

That is one butt tiring position for a cup holder. Should be installed on the saddle horn.

Agent54, But if it was a hot cup youjust got from the cook and it spilledoff the saddle horn, you’d be walkin’like John Wayne, pilgrim.
