Back in about 1985 I rented a Lincoln Town Car from Hertz in Las Vegas. The whole dash instrument display was electronic, speedometer, gas gauge, all of it. It went black at night. I took it back and they gave me another car.
When I first visited The Villages in 2010 I rented a Nissan sedan at MCO from Enterprise. It had the first remote electronic key fob I had ever used. One day I stopped at the Belleview post office and the car's engine would not turn off. I tried everything I could think of and finally took it to the Enterprise agency in Sumter Landing. The guys there laughed at me but also could not get the engine to stop running. Last I saw of the car they had loaded it on a flat bed wrecker, engine still running. lol. I do not trust electronics.
