If you check your tire pressure regularly, would you still support raising the cost of cars to have this system in every car? Maybe one day you may be following a car that pulls over to check their tires when they otherwise wouldn’t know it’s low.
Very true trojan, I’m with you on that, but is it that they can’t tell or just don’t care?

I’m starting to research different cars because I need to get a new one somewhat soon. I know I want a used car that has low mileage and is in good shape. Car safety is also really important. Can you recommend some websites that are good for overall car research and car listings? Thanks!
I have a 1990 Volvo wagon now and would like something similar to that, but newer and maybe not another Volvo since they are expensive to fix and from what I’ve heard the newer ones aren’t as good as the old ones.
