<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1219202, member: 13650"]I always get a kick out of people reminiscing about old cars. The exteriors looked cool but when it comes down to it, that's about all I can say for them. Granted, I'm not from that generation, but I'd be curious to know anybody who was happy about the comfort of those cars, in comparison today. Who had a comfortable one? No AC. Stiff leather bench seats. Crappy suspension. Thin, hard steering wheels. No sound proofing. No power steering. No power anything. A crappy AM radio. I'm sorry, but no thanks!!</p><p><br /></p><p> I'll take my '07 trailblazer over anything from that era. I'm too used to AC, a quiet, comfortable ride with push button auto 4wd, and power everything including adjustable foot pedals. Maybe it's made me too soft? lol I put a Pioneer touch screen receiver in it last year. </p><p><br /></p><p> Have since become accustomed to my entire Ipod playlists at my finger tips, hands free bluetooth phone calls, satellite radio, music videos, occasionally DVDs and of course 2D or 3D GPS navigation at the same time,with turn by turn directions and a backup camera for safety. I'm actually disappointed that I can't bring up a live weather radar on it. Well, I could but I didn't purchase the MSN bar for it and accompanying internet subscription, but I had to stop somewhere. </p><p> But yeah, this is the first vehicle my kid will grow up with and some day they'll probably think it sucks too. Maybe because you have to drive it yourself. lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
