I had a 2016 GMC Sierra. Cost $100 a week to take my son to daycare. Sold it and got a Sienna Hybrid and a classic truck for hauling shit. I hate all the technology in cars these days. My van tracks me and in the app it says "this feature can be disabled but the tracking will not stop" or to that affect. Garbage.

I too am fed up with all the data rape. Fuck off car companies, greedy assholes.

It's not just FUD either, this shit is actively happening NOW: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technology/carmakers-driver-tracking-insurance.html

After you traded your Sierra for a Sienna, did you take a Siesta?

five-speed manual transmission

I like having an automatic transmission. The vehicle in the article isn't gonna do it for me.

You know they come in automatic, too? 4-speed, usually.
