  1. Yet another reason not to buy a new car.

  2. LOL, no, child. This is not Orwellian. That would be you not being allowed to choose ANYTHING about your life, including where you work, who you talk to, and who you marry, if you're allowed to marry at all. It would be never being able to say a single word that isn't approved, and being kidnapped and tortured into blind obedience if you try. THIS is crappy and invasive, but it's a long way from being Orwellian, mainly because you can CHOOSE not to get into the car. In Oceania, there is no choice about anything.

  3.  @paulstejskal  Right. Because mechanics and car shops are just figment of our imaginations. Try harder, Sergei.

  4.  @Last_E_iz_A_thre3  That may well be, but I've seen way too many people insisting that we're "living in Orwell's reality" - and they MEAN it. Usually they're people who've never read Orwell at all, but just picking up half-baked ideas off the internet. Kinda like wingnuts who whine about how being conservative in America is just like being a Jew in Nazi Germany. Sorry, but I call out silly-ass ignorant shit like that. Words matter, and redefining words to take the meaning out of them is a standard brain-washing tactic. No, just no.

  5. Dude, what "old days"? There are literally hundreds of millions of cars like that around.

  6. And how can you promise that, exactly?

  7. You blew it with "they can do thought crimes". Don't use a term if you don't know what it means. You just end up looking ridiculous.
