It's not "an absolute necessity". It is a very
useful tool to have in the car.

New things come out and people use them.

20 years ago people didn't even know the web
existed.

A hundred years ago people used horses instead
of cars.

I don't think anyone is proposing we go back to
those ways of life.

Or that we cannot live without these new things.

The issue is not "if we can or cannot live without
these". The issue is "does one see an advantage to
using them".

And each one of us get to make our own choice.

When someone says, "I could never imagine having a car without it," that
person's imagination is extremely limited--because for years, he did
have one without it.

What he's doing is refusing to admit that he could live without it.
He's being a spoiled, selfish brat.

One wonders what will happen when the asteroid finally hits...

He's not taking anything away from anyone else.
How is he selfish?

He can afford to buy it himself.
How is he being spoiled?

You forgot to add the usual $3000 - 4000 markup by your friendly dealer. Of
course, one would think they could not over-price it because an RSX S runs
around 23500-24,000. At 20.5, it would be about what I paid for my 01
Prelude I bought at the end of the year when dealers were trying to get them
off the lot because they were discontinued -- and therefore undesireable.

Who's quote is this? Not mine.

I said: "I will never consider another car without a *good*
nav unit."

Or a car without an electric starter. People did without
these for years.

New features come out. Why select a car without the
feature one wants?

> What he's doing is refusing to admit that he could live without it.


You are confused about the quote.

> He's being a spoiled, selfish brat.


Could you elaborate on why wanting modern features
makes one spoiled or a selfish brat?

If you pull out a map more than 2-3x a week..... then get a Nav unit,
2-3x a day... better get a good one. its just like anything else.
would I get a $150 a month 5000min cell plan if I only wanted it to
call AAA if I break down....no... while if I am working Realestate and
I am on my cell phone for 3hrs a day I would wanna get that plan.
Everything is useful if you use it, nothing is useful if you dont.
