This is why I keep my 2006 toyota in tip top shape. I will drive that car as long as I possibly can.

Really considering taking out a loan just to fix an old car instead of buying new.

I've got a 2007 Kia that I'm planning to drive until I can't fix it anymore

So far that's proving to be a pretty easy given the cost and availability of parts

I'm taking my 2006 Avalon to 300k miles and beyond!

What's the difference between never connecting your phone to a brand new high tech car and having no tech in an older car?

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

New car is still connected and is monitoring your driving habits, whether you wear a seatbelt or not, possibly recording your conversations, and even keeping track of your weight with the sensors in the seats.

And monitoring your location, don't forget about that. You can tell a lot about a person just by seeing where they go every day.

In my region, where public transport doesn't exist much at all, if you don't drive, you might not eat or work (the lucky few work remotely, but not all).
