The Future Is Fantastic and Wonderful and Technology Makes Everything 1000000x Better

The proof: Our car. There is nothing I don’t love about this thing. I get it, start it up, and it detects my phone and start playing my music from Spotify. I brake, and it’s like, “Stupid human with your slow reflexes. Get out the way, I’ll handle this. Stopping NOW.” I press the accelerator and it’s like, “AHOY! YES! WE GO!” Even with all that power, it’s quiet, not smelly, and gets an outrageous number of miles out of a full tank of petrol. Claudia: you are the reason I no longer hate driving. I hope you last at least eight years, and after that, I promise we will replace you with an even more amazingly autonomous version of you.

The Future Is Terrible and We’re All Going To Die Alone Upside Down on the Floor of a Pub Toilet

The proof: Music. I was in the changing room at the gym and they were playing the usual pop du jour. I normally block it out, but today for some reason I started listening to it.

The lyrics went as follows: “I swipe right ‘cause I see just what I like/Baby, I tap twice for you/Cause we're living in a new age/It's called digital”, etc. And because the changing room was empty I shouted, ”Oh my god it’s a song about Tinder and I hate it and that means I’m OLD.”

My only comfort is that that song is not going to age well.

Claudia looks like she knows she knows better than you 😁 😁
Is she a hybrid?

Two too many wheels for me! :o)

They do at least one thing right over the big pond:

The song won't age well. In ten years' time, when Claudia is a bit decrepit and on its way out, it will already be terribly embarrassing.

I am sure there's a clever song waiting to be made about Tinder, but that's definitely not the one.

Claudia looks like a very nice car, and I hope she serves well for a very long time.

I am fairly certain the kids themselves would be embarrassed by that particular lyric series. But, alas, it might mean that we are, in fact, old.

My mom has a 1 year old Subaru Outback, and it really is amazing like that. I’m so jealous!

I bet. It’s a big decision and a big commitment. But the reduction of stress that the bells and whistles that this kind of car offers are a huge factor in its favor.
