Believe me, I looked.

There's two settings that my car does not have.

One of them is there is no way to set B by default and there is no way to set D to be as aggressive as B. And the second missing setting is there is no way to disable little alerts that say uneven road surface ahead.

does it know that you live in new york so yeah well so here it shows those when i'm approaching a railroad crossing now i live on long island i'm there's a railroad crossing going through every town because of long island railroad there's also uneven road surface everywhere

So as I drive throughout my town doing anything, I'm constantly getting alerts on my dash saying, you know, uneven road service, you know, 0.6 miles ahead or whatever.

Constantly.

There's no way to turn that off.

And the funny thing is, there's even a setting for it.

it just doesn't work.

Like there's a setting to turn that off.

You can search for it in the control panel and it's right there and you turn it off and you're like, great, it's off.

And then the alerts continue because it doesn't actually work.

I tried that as well.

That apparently doesn't really exist for these modern vehicles anymore.

I did look into that, though.

There is no world in which replacing your car makes financial sense.

Certainly not.

But we also don't live through our lives only optimizing for one thing.

We live our lives to live our lives.

And so...
