Naaaaah, my 2016 RAV4 Hybrid is balling. Back up camera, 360 sensors, remote start, heated seats, medium screen with buttons and knobs instead of touch, push start, stick shift, and the best part: no wifi on-board (through my phone only). Cars peaked right here.

I have a 2016 outback. No android auto... But I'm in the same boat. Backup camera. Sensors self driving no wifi no forced updates. Etc.

I don't need anything more.

Praying for our cars to survive at least another 15 years, bud 🙏

I daily a 1985, how boned do you think I am?

[–] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah agreed. One of the great things about the outback is there's a DIY group around it. So there's a lot of YouTube videos out there on car maintenance and upgrades etc So that kind of where I'm at with it these days too

Oh, your going to fix that yourself? Or pay someone to do it?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

honestly i haven't been able to fix anything myself since my 1989 three horsepower crapstack. not enough room in the engine compartment. I've got a good mechanic tho, so it's not too much of a problem.

I like fixing my own crap and used to fix laptops and the like in my old job. I am fairly comfortable working on anything 2008 and before, basicly as long as the car is not using fucking canbus or serialized parts. Had enough canbus in my life from the damned German cash recyclers.

My motto is, it's already broke what more can I do to it

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

If it ain't ain't broke, don't not fix it.
