Title: I Want To Buy "Dumb" Products
Post by: supsalemgr on August 16, 2023, 11:44:45 AM
Anyone else wish we could still purchase and use "dumb" products and devices? We had to replace a key fob for Mrs. Sup's BMW. It cost an arm and a leg and pairing it to the vehicle was a real pain. I long for the day if you needed a replacement car key you could go to a hardware store and have one made for a couple of bucks

I agree. I always buy a stripped down version when I get a new truck. But the days of a simple radio, roll down hand crank windows, manual door locks are long gone. But the one that has my blood boiling, in the name of saving money, they no longer come with a CD player.  :cursing:  :cursing:  :cursing:

Now these car companies are trying to nickel and dime you for services that should be standard and free.
