The 1990 Honda Civic may be the most reliable car of all time. Sadly it’s also easily stolen with nothing but a screwdriver, but still!
Comment on BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them

Ton@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes, all on board (except for the airbag) in my 1992 Benz.

All good until someone smashes into you and you discover how far safety features have come in three decades!

Of course, the biggest security feature is sitting in the drivers seat.

Assuming you mean that you yourself are a good driver who doesn’t get into crashes, that’s why I said “until someone smashes into you”, as in the crash that is completely out of your control!

True, but that you can also largely influence by defensive driving. When I rode 80 tkm a year for 15 years I’ve literally seen everything but was never part of it.
