I like this parody, I am also sometimes annoyed by all the useless electronic features in modern cars, working only in the narrow and often counter-intuitive way they can, as opposed to the flexible old-school manual and mechanical solutions, that while requiring an ounce more of effort are much more reliable and adjustable.
Also can be seen as a parody about old people not changing their ways easily, but they can be pardoned for that, having to adjust to an artificial, counter-intuitive world.
