Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Cars used to be made to get you somewhere. Now they cost 4 times as much and are full of government-mandated surveillance equipment and random gadgets that are expensive to fix when they break. And they're twice as heavy.
The only thing that's gotten better is safety.
I miss when cars were cars
What government mandated surveillance equipment are you referring to?
From 7 July, all new cars and vans sold in the EU must pack a fresh batch of safety features, including infrared cameras that watch the driver's face.
Exactly what I was referring to. Along with GPS tracking that alerts you if you're going over the speed limit. Totally won't be used for anything else, right?
