    The glare when the sun hits them.... Worse than the chrome trim ring around the gauges.

    At night, can't dim them down enough before they just shut off.

    Data presentation. I typically dont give a crap about an exact number. I have a clue what an acceptable range looks like on a gauge.

    I will never have an Apple product, Told Jobs his Lisa product was a pile of crap way back then. My opinion is since then most of their products have not improved.

    I dont have a large flat screen at home. I watch crap on my lap top.

    Other thing for me is, if they are a touch screen I have to take my eyes off the road too long to find an icon. Can just hit he third switch from the left from muscle memory. And I prefer the tactile feed back of a switch over waiting for the computer to respond.

    Last phone I was happy with was my StarTAC. Had to give it up when they started shutting of the analog towers.

    One of my criteria when I last shopped for a pick up was I wanted a metal dash board. That way the only tech in it would be stuff I added.

    That's the one, just need an ice maker inside. It's not that I'm cheap it is just the whole appliance industry lost their mind when it comes to not producing quality refrigerators that last 15-20 years. So, I'm out and will only buy the least expansive units now. Perhaps if Speed Queen (I love mine) got into the Refrigerator business I would go with them. Someone here on WIIS said something about a Natural Gas refrigerant refrigerators lasting 20 plus years that I will get if this one goes out with in 5 years.

    The hardest place ever… Ever had to turn into to load.
    Took all the room I had available and had to back up and jack it.

    plus there’s a concrete wall outside that door behind the doors about 5 ft high.
    had to turn truck back keep from hitting the rack. I missed that scale rail by Millimeters, not inches.
