Pat is upset he’s poor and can’t afford a new car

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

Sure Pat, automakers are going to listen to you

He had to buy an after market radio just to get Bluetooth which has been standard on cars for a decade. Also those commands are usually on the steering wheel - I guess his doesn’t have that.

 

[BigBeanFatty]

He's right though

Driving drunk and not being able to rely on muscle memory is probably difficult.

Do some cars now really have turn signals on a screen instead of a lever?

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

But the things he’s talking about (minus gear shift) won’t be only on a touch screen as he is suggesting here for safety reasons.

I doubt it, that sounds like something the safety boards wouldn’t allow. They made it so all cars have to have the backup camera is an example. Radio stuff they have on the wheels / behind the wheel for this reason, same with blue tooth. They even have on some you can’t mess with display settings while the car is in drive. He’s just looking for a reason to bitch about Tesla. Don’t like telsa cars? They don’t buy one - problem solved but Pat types need to find things to cry about

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

It’s just another way he can bitch about Tesla - a car (well any new / newer car at this point) he can’t afford

 

[Slackjawed Cow]

Im sure all the car companies are having emergency phone conferences over this tweet. " Hey this guy is on to something.."

I drove a Tesla a few months ago, wtf is this faggot talking about? It was like a regular car with 3x the torque it wasn't all on dials and shit

 

[The Talking Dead]

Why didn't he post this on his Torque Wheeler account? The world is dying to hear the thoughts of a 43 year old failed writer on the latest auto news.

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about - he can’t even afford anything that’s not an old shit box at this point. His car is so old it’s over 15 years behind on standard features that people all got used to. He didn’t even have Bluetooth which has been standard on new cars since I think 2010. He’s being overdramatic like the gas pedals will be on the touch screen. Like I said these cars have to go through all kinds of safety tests to even be sold and the stuff he’s claiming here won’t pass.

He is begging car companies and he isnt even a potential buyer. Pat you arent their target demographic, you are broke. Plus Pat wouldnt even buy a brand new car. He would buy something that is already 3-4 years old at least. Pat is acting like he is about to spend $60k+ on a brand new car soon. Its like those people that beg for certain high end sports cars to be sold in the US but they have never spent over $10k for a used car let alone owned a brand new one. They were never going to buy one.

 

[firstimelongtime]

I saw the aftermarket stereo in his sock “life hack” tweet. How dare he do such a thing to a museum piece like Susan? Doesn’t he know it’s a collector’s item? Sacrilege!

Remember - his car is “very desirable” even though it’s 15 years old, close to 200k miles, and doesn’t even have heated seats while living in an area known for its very cold long winters

I would also assume new mustangs are pretty display screen heavy - this will be his reason he doesn’t buy a newer one - all those fancy computers are too much for him!

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

Ballwasher with a completely retarded observation

Indy cars? The ones that ARENT LEGAL TO DRIVE ON US ROADS? They don’t apply here. Also cars use paddle shifters too you retard

 

[Steve Ramone]

Automakers are already moving away from touchscreens. He'll never own a car new enough to have to worry about it though.

For “the last real car guy” he seems to not know much about cars and only his. Wait until he finds out CD players were phased out of cars close to a decade ago.

I remember watching an old top gear episode and they had a Ferrari whose whose blinkers were on each side of the steering wheel and they bitched about it because when the wheel was turned it was confusing as to which one was the left or the right one. Other than that I cannot remember another car that didn't have a stalk or a shifter and I'm sure he's not referencing that Ferrari

Its just good to know instead of getting that used 2020 Bullitt he was claiming he was going to buy, he wasted all that money on a frivolous lawsuit. We mention the $32k he paid quasi but never factor in what he spent out of pocket for his side. Id guess he had to come up with at least 10% of what the SFWA possibly covered.

I love when he LARPs as someone who can afford a new vehicle, as if his real-life decision isn't contingent upon budgeting and better credit (and 10 year loan).
