Trace,
If they made things that easy the vehicles would last forever.
Just look at the truly good old cars for the 20's, 30's and 40's still out there 100% original.
They do that because they figure you will turn right, right into another car so they can get you to buy a new car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But truthfully it bugs the heck out of me too. Life was simple way back then but today for some stupid reason THEY think they know what is best for us.
Example, passive seat belts, I would never buy a car with them.
Headlights that stay on during the day, again I can turn my own lights on thank you auto makers.
spare tires that are NOT tires, when I buy cars I make it part of the deal that they include a real tire as part of the deal. So I give up a bit of trunk room, at least I have a real tire in there.
There are reasons for all the above, it is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
