Kinda like crank windows and mech door locks.

I have a 2019 Equinox as my daily driver
and developed a deep hatred for the useless
annoying gadgets. Especially the rear and other cameras.

Adaptive cruise control also tops my hate list.
I agree...working at car dealer ships for 35 years...i also drive a 2019 with all the gadget`s (After my 1992 Corolla spit the dif pin through the case this year) before that was my 1978 Concord wagon for 7 years (The same one my son and i built)when i started driving my 64 American wagon 16 years ago not having a drivers side door mirror wasnt a problem but after getting used to back up cameras...blind spot monitors...active cruise control...abs..skid control...blur tooth..exc. makes driving my classic feel that much more enjoyabe...Lets face it were dumbing down the human race....And that is a shame...And remember Point`s and a Carb. will always get you home...

Points and carb will get you home but I prefer to keep my 8 injectors and 8 coils. I can drive home on 7 of either without opening the hood.

agreed...it`s when the driver poop`s out and your down to zero...Injection is very nice if you dont over complicate it....i have watched builders put the incorrect sized injectors in(oversized) melt pistons blame the tune and push a cust to buy a life savings in stand along ecu`s... when most manufactures use fuel flow to control the timing...Less flow (Ms) more timing....i think if your advanced enough to run..tune and diag. efi go for it...If not your at the mercy of others...I`m in the field since pre efi and have followed it.. diag`ed   it...repaired and tuned it so im fine with it...

Ok, so 15 seconds and 2 dirty fingers from unplugging the injector.
