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.
Last time I was car shopping there was a super cute car I really wanted. Drove to a dealership an hour away just to test drive it. The moment I saw it had no cruise control I said “nope I can’t take this car, where should I best turn around?”
I have however found that tons of biking makes me want to drive residential streets slower. 20 is plenty, so I’ll often not even bother with the cruise because I can just be lazy on the gas and stay between 0-5mph under the limit, plus there’s a couple of school zones where not using the cruise makes it easier to roll through at the school zone limit. When you’re more used to going 10mph or slower 25 feels much too fast
