@farah @hellomiakoda I haven't driven for weeks due to pain but on my first drive this week I was going 25mph in a 25mph zone (a parkway) and a large SUV flew around me (it's just a two lane road) and hey, guess who I caught up to at the next stoplight.

@rasterweb I'm currently replying to you on this old ass ThinkPad. 720p, dual core, SATA... Works just fine for most my mundane stuff like emails, PIM, and Fedi.
Still gets 8 to 9 hours on battery!
Also, my old ass station wagon.. No tracking, HAS FUCKING KNOBS FOR FUCK SAKE 馃帀, the subscription for my heated seats is $0.00, and if the check engine comes on I have the freedom to decide if sitting on the side of the highway is worse than risking engine damage.
@hellomiakoda I like my old 2010 Subaru. My partner drives a 2019 RAV4 and it has cameras and sensors and beeps like fucking crazy every time we pull out of the garage.
I actually use an old phone as my "car audio player".
The one thing I do really like in the 2019 is the adaptive cruise control which would come in handy with my current leg pain situation.
But yeah, I like knobs and no warning beeps.
@rasterweb We wouldn't need adaptive crusie if people would just learn what following distance is. [grumpy noises]
@hellomiakoda @rasterweb This morning I got overtaken by a wannabe muscle car in a residential area, near a school as soon as I signaled my turn. I hate driving so much sometimes. (And yes mostly because of other people)
