I think what peeves me off so much with the car companies, is that I have to buy stuff I don't want.( i.e. Package 1, Package 2, ect.) If I want cruise control, I have to buy it in the package with the aluminum wheels and heated Butt cushions. They need to let you order stuff the way you want it. I don't need 500.00 electronic navigation, I can read a 3.00 map. I don't need airbags, I married one, and if the Mother in Law comes along, I have dual airbags. I don't need heated windows, I own a ice scraper. I don't need 4 DVD moniters at 300 a pop for the kiddies to watch, I'll buy them dollar coloring books (throw in 50 cents for crayons). And the killer.... I don't need 150 mph rated tires, I only do 70 max. All I need is a heater, lights, and wipers.

They claim that new vehicles are user friendly. Well, maybe to the driver, but if you have to work on it, because you can't afford 90.00 an hour service at a dealer, you are screwed. Make it so we can fix them, and back the warranty time off to a year or two to bring costs down.

Don't get me wrong, I know alot of what manufacturers have to do under the hood is not their fault, it is standards set by the Gov't, and they need to stay out of it.
