Your probably right, 2019 is right around the cut-off when electronic shit started completely overtaking the last 75 years of car improvments. I was given a loaner recently while recall work was being done (Subaru) and the loaner car just felt wrong. Tactile feedback is very important because if your flipping through touch screen menus, your not looking at the road.
I call everyone nerds, and yall may think, not everyone is a nerd. Wrong.
Remember that jock from the football team, ask them about about sports betting. You will get a better lesson in sports statistics than you would by taking a college class. Everyone is a nerd about something.
