The cars these days are getting smarter, more efficient, more global, and way more ridiculous (seriously, we're going to have the image of this Lamborghini stuck in our head for months). Along with the advancements in exterior design, a ton of new technology and safety features have been slowly creeping into more and more cars. Some people think it's all great. We do not. We drive, because we like driving, not because we need our car to do everything for us. You know what really grinds our gears? These 10 Things That We Hate About New Cars

We love iPads, iPhones, and even those massive Samsung things that masquerade as mobile telephones but are really just small personal TVs. However, when driving, the multitude of options causes frequent distraction (which could lead to accidents) and forces, in no small amount, a great desire to return to the simpler days of twist knobs. These, you see, we could feel out through touch. No look radio switching! No eyes off the prize (aka, the road). Until a touch screen is integrated seamlessly into the wheel, we'd rather keep the high tech we love in rest of our lives off the road.
