You're pretty blind or naive if you don't see it. It's like, you do your thing and we'll do our thing too. Maybe I'm sounding a little too "get off my lawn" but again, I'm only 41, I still have 20 years to work and I don't have gray hair yet (it is thinning a little though)

Look, as much as people don't like the (no politics), we've had enough of the "you need to stop driving a loud, pollutant car and being mean to people" attitude. America was founded on principles of being a kcid to people who try to boss us around. If I don't like someone not only do I not have to like them, I can tell them to their face what I think of them. It's my opinion and until someone renders the Constitution, uh, unconstitutional I'm pretty sure I still have that right. Those people probably never listened to Led Zeppelin. Do you? Or are you more of a Yanni type?

The car is about the greatest self expression of person freedom there is. Gottlieb Daimler might have invented it, and Henry Ford might have perfected the production of it, but John DeLorean and Lee Iacocca made it TRULY American. We need more men like THEM designing cars. There is NOTHING wrong with enjoying life with ladies, drinks, and parties if what you is brilliant and mind blowing. Just ask Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. There's too many pinhead stuck up pocket-protector types designing cars now. We need to loosen up the office.

Let the nerds have their cute little roustabouts that drive themselves and run on electric and cry when someone says "boo" to them.

Let Europe have their little mopeds on 4 wheels.

For the rest of us who still have a modicum of testosterone, keep the V8 gas only engine with a true 3 pedal stick. Because that is all some of us will ever drive.
Oh I get it. Your vent is wayyyyy beyond ADAS and Electrification. Neither of those have much to with your last comments. Other than somehow you seem to think it is a responsibility to go out of your way to tell people you don’t like......that you don’t like them.

And I have no idea where it’s either Zepplin or whoever Yanni is. Thought that was a street magician. I really hope you enjoy far more than Zepplin. Great band but soooooo much more to enjoy.
