I don't know about you, but my '65 F100 doesn't have satellite navigation, radio, overdrive, power steering, power brakes, power windows, crumple zones, air bags, air conditioning, automatic transmission, cruise control, shoulder belts, DRL, HID, ABS, traction control, stability control, fuel injection, or any semblance of safety.

But hey, people like their gadgets.
