Ya i know what junkyards are, just went there a few weeks ago. Good luck getting many working electronic components that have been sitting in the rain and sun.
Also, nothing feels as good and snappy as a cable. Electronic are laggy as fuck.
I can also guarantee I can do more on my 90s car than you can in your garage with any vehicle made after 2016, with affordable tools.
I agree with you on safety, different issue. Seatbelts dobt mean we need a GPS and internet capable car filled with screens. Thats just idiocy pedaled by car mfgs.
I still don’t agree we need all this bullshit in cars when they were perfected in the 90s. All you need is efi and abs breaks if you dont want to be maintaining a carb and be relatively safe. The issue is now cars are wayyyy to computerized and you can’t even replace your throttle module and or tps without a dealer locked computer. Thats what I’m saying here. Computerizing cars leads to this always, so better to leave them mechanical where they CAN’T ever control what I do with my vehicle.
I just dont understand the defense of new vehicles, myself. They all suck (and are all hideous and huge) and if you gave me the choice between new 1999 Tacoma and 2027 Tacoma, I’ll take the 99 EVERY time 0 questions asked (*with frame rust coating, ofc).
