    I’m my younger years, I got 3 $300+ speeding tickets in just under a year (speeding in Cali is an expensive lesson). This pretty much stopped my speeding habits. I use my cruise control constantly. It works down to 16mph in my car, so even in school zones. I fucking love it so much. Huge reduction in stress and anxiety.

    And before anyone asks, I’m not the holier-than-thou asshole doing the speed limit in the fast lane. I stick to the right lane, move over to pass when I need to, and then move back.

      If my choices came down to having a car with power windows or a car with low speed cruise control options, I very well might choose the latter. It’s so nice not having to also keep an eye on the speed you’re driving at while going down tight residential streets with kids playing in their driveways.

        I got a rental once, and it had roll down windows. No biggie, I grew up with a not dirt poor but very frugal family (no allowance, often no lunch money but I was never starving or anything).

        I got on the highway and realized it didn’t have cruise control and nearly lost my fucking mind. I think I’d take cruise control over A/C even.
