A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Some cars do! Mine shows diagnostic info for the can bus and GPS by holding down a "secret" button combination. I'm sure other manufacturers do that too.
I can't even get my manufacturer to give me a fuse box diagram.. what make do you drive if you don't mind me being nosy?
2004 Honda Accord Coupe. Yup, screens even back then. (On the fancy models)
It's... a trooper. First thing I did after I bought the car was purchase the service manuals for $400. It's so easy to maintain.
I looked that up for my partners newer car. Annual subscription to a service manuals is $1500+.
Eish, that's horrible. Knowledge about the tech you paid thousands for should NEVER be a live service.
I'm about to go back to horse and buggy.
