Comment on Carmakers are failing the privacy test. Owners have little to no control of the data they hand over

What ABS that is there is less sophisticated than modern systems. Worse structures for crash protection. No stability control. No traction control.
Plus they’re just old. Last year, I spent more on my 20 year old car than I did on my 2 year old car, that includes loan payments on the new car, fuel, tires, insurance, and maintenance.
Get something from this century at least.

To be specific my car is actually 23 years old. To be really pedantic, it was manufactured in 1999.

I was being a smartass, but im in roughly the same boat mines 22 years old. Also I think yours would be 24 years old unless it was built late in the year.
