I do believe in wearing my seat belt, I just don't like the constant beeping reminder.

Constant beeping means you are forgetting to buckle - which should only occur if you are just a beginning driver.
Shouldn't buckling occur w/o any conscious effort , like moving the foot up and over to the brake pedal when you want to stop , since you " believe in wearing " seat belts ?
I'm sure in your driver training and driver's license test , you knew you would have been flunked if you had started your car BEFORE buckling up .

You might want to start looking for pre-1970's cars then, before the days of seat belt reminders.

You can always have a machinist do a metallic part with the dimensions of the belt insert and have it permanently inserted in the buckle.
