When given a choice, I buy the vehicle with the least amount of sensors and gadgets. They are all parts that break easily and I'm rough on everything.

I THINK a company that produced vehicles using EXPIRED patents would be FAR more economical. Case in point. The '80 Isuzu mark whatever. Diesal...53 MPG. RELIABLE. WHY did it disappear?

funny. I owned a car once that had some 'personality.' it had no TPMS sensors in any of the wheels. But, occasionally, the low pressure light would come on. only way to turn it off, i thought, was to go to a tire shop.

nope. with the ignition on, turn on & off the parking lights 3x, and it'll turn that light off. i've done it while driving down the road. it only happened once every couple months tho, so not a major issue, once i knew it was part of that car's personality.

This isn't personality, it's indirect tpms lol. The car guesses pressure based on data from the wheel speed sensor. If you have different tread depths between tires (especially on the same axle) it'll mess with it

My dad told me that he found a random code on his key fob that remote started the car. That's a nice feature to accidentally find.

This is especially true for toyotas. Most after the mid 2000s have a sensor in the spare, even a donut. Many other brands only put them in full sized spare, which are now the exclusive domain of trucks and full framed SUVs, and even those sometimes have a donut.

yeah, the winch only holds it tight if you face the valve stem up and away from where you can easily fill it. We have people come by our shop all the time for a quick tire pressure check, only to get mad when I won't drop their spare. Niggers can't be choosers, cheapskate!

So many regulations on cars, so many mom/pop truck transport lost their business with the carb diesel rules. The diesel laws since 2008 are just insane, they do nothing to improve the environment, and if anything make it worse

So why not check it once you really need the spare?

Oh I know, because money.
