it's no wonder why people hate new cars
If you want to know why so many people hate new cars so much, just look at the steering wheel.
Yeah, I am middle aged. Yeah, that means I have a bias towards older things because that's what I know best. But when it comes to cars, there's absolutely no question that the older stuff was much easier to deal with.
The older I get, the more I learn about stuff.
It didn't take long after 2025 began before I got my first cold of the year, and I have a standard list of things I do to make dealing with that easier. This is stuff I wish I knew when I was younger, but better late than never.
When I first started using PCs as a kid, there were only two portable storage formats. Tape (as in microcassette) and floppies (as in floppy diskettes). That was it. Tape was way too slow, so I used floppies, and I always hated them.
Today, 2024-Dec-31, is the last day of 2024. This year in particular involved emotional things that I've accepted.
There was a very brief period of time when I tried using navigation on the phone. Twice. The first time I tried it, I could barely read the screen due to sun glare. The second time, the phone overheated from Florida sun in less than 10 minutes and shut down. I went back to using a Garmin and stayed there.
And that brings me to one of Garmin's current offerings, the DriveSmart 76.
