New Cars have too much tech for Boomers

“Boomers” tend to complain about the complexity of new cars. Usually, I'd shrug and say, “Just Google it or YouTube it.” Insensitive? Maybe. But I’ve always believed that if you take the time to learn for yourself, you won't have to wait for your tech-savvy child or...
