For over a century, the automobile has represented freedom, power, and the thrill of mechanical mastery. The connection between driver, machine, and road defined what it meant to own and love a car. But in today’s digital era, a different trend is unfolding. Cars are no longer just machines designed to take us from point A to point B. Increasingly, they resemble something else entirely: smartphones on wheels.

But you will spend 1500 bucks replacing everything else on the car.

Also cars have plenty of buttons.

$1500 put into a 2003 Honda Accord is COMPLETELY different than putting that into a 2016.

And I want ALL buttons. No touch screen AT All
