I ain't the brightest of fellows, but...why?

p.s. And the longer this sort of nonsense goes on, the further into the vehicular luddite crowd I'm going to be driven.  Goddam it, just give me something the size of a Dodge Dakota with a nice, simple inline 4 or 6, a manual 5 speed, and manual windows (with a vent glass like God intended).  I'm willing to take newer radios and the like with the blueteefs, so there's my nod to "new shit," but enough is enough.

If you scroll up, the post he's replying to is about adding gaming consoles to the back seats of cars for kids.  So I assume he's talking about integrating steam accounts with back-seat consoles so kids can continue playing their games on road trips etc.  If that had been a thing when back in my Total War days, I would have begged my parents to get one  :2funny:

Heh, max travel range before needing a charge with 2 Steam tablets and Spotify running, 28 km.  People here are now buying small Honda generators and putting them in the trunk along with a jerry can full of gas in case their car needs charging.  Brilliant!
