Back then it was just getting out of school, messin' with vehicles, and chasing girls. Today I seem to have far more on my mind than back then. Funny how time changes us.
I'm turning into my dad, too. I find myself getting irritated with my power windows, power locks, fancy radio, etc.
I dunno, I've started liking that junk... I contemplated adding remote start, so that the windshield would start defrosting by the time I got outside, the Jetta's windshield is always covered in scratches from the ice scraper; dad has had remote start for years... But it's not worth the $$$ for that feature, it's not that hard to walk outside and then back in.
Most of that stuff is just fine, provided it doesn't break, IMO.
I have started liking the handsfree phone though, and the aux input on the radio. I just hate how aftermarket radios look though.
