Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for August 02, 2020

One of them cars for dummies Ziggy might not be all computer controlled. You may be able to work on it yourself.

PHBTT……………………………

Now that I finally have a code reader I’ll probably never have a sensor or computer problem as I watch the rain on my car washed yesterday…… I think there’s a little Ziggy in all of us

I hope those aren’t cars for crash-test dummies!!!

Take his advice, Ziggy. A smart car will not do you any good if you can’t even figure out how to start it!

Oh I saved up all my money,

I gonna buy me a flashy car,

So I go downtown to see the man,

And he smokin’ on a big cigar . . .

— Jim Croce, Hard Time Losin’ Man

If you’re familiar with the song (or if you just figure it out from the title), you know this doesn’t turn out well.

Smart cars are for dummies too.

I drive a 2017 Ram Tradesman edition. It has window cranks and manual door locks. The “tech” in the cab consists of A/C, Cruise Control, and Sirius XM radio. Who needs more tech than that?

They do not want to sell a car, they want to sell you a loan.

All this “Apple Car Play” etc, make distracted driving all that more commonplace.

Ah, I see they did a background check.

Only dummies need smart cars.

Reminds me of a man who dressed beneath auto dealers. Finally he crossed the street from the dealer who was passing the word to all the other dealers, except the one across the street. Every year the dealer across the street sent a thank you card to the one who talked too much. Twas the least he could do for the boost of annual sales. True story. No telling the number of people with similar experiences.
