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

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've been having dreams lately where I'm driving around in my old 1987 thunderbird that I got in 2003 when I was in high school. It wasn't a great car and I was hoping my next vehicle could be electric, but maybe that's a sign I need to be going backwards.

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

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 8 points 1 year 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.

this is why i don't own a car

[–] Someology@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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).

i'm sorry but are you commenting this for any reason other than to make yourself feel better about owning a car? i see people doing this all the time and i don't get what other reason there would be to bring it up as the immediate response to comments about going car-free

yes, obviously you can't live without a car if you need the car to live! but millions and millions of people would actively enjoy life more without a car.
