Ah, the car. You saying they don't make changes to your car? Lucky you! I traded an old, very fuel-efficient car that never peeped a warning light at me about anything, for a shiny Jeep that is constantly jonesing for fuel and has an epileptic computer that freaks out every few days about the braking system, the tire pressure, and a half-dozen other non-problems. When it has one of its seizures, the turn signals don't work. The dealer can't replicate the phenomenon, so it can't be fixed.

Meanwhile the mfr (that is, manufacturer) will send me notes telling me I need to get some recalled thing or other attended to. My next car, when I have the free time to shop, will be an antique with no computer. Something a juvenile delinquent can fix with a wrench and a rag.

As for GPS, on long drives I take along my old man, and a map. He needs that map like the jd needs the rag. Not.
