Modern are having our right of repair taken away to not just spyware.
1998 Toyota Carola for the win, easy to fix, and no spyware, and just works.
I live in Pittsburgh. They don't call it the rust belt for no reason. If you go to a junkyard you'll see tons of perfectly working old Toyotas and Hondas as far as the engine and things go, but they're all rusted out to the point of not being worth the repairs. This part of the country sucks for owning any car. Tons of potholes, snow, ice, salt, etc. A lot of roads are just fucked in this state. Can't even avoid the potholes when your whole car's suspension rumbles down the road the whole time. Highways are a little better but not much. There's plenty of uneven roads on them too.
Sucks tryin to stick to older cars considering all this. Unless you get something out of state I guess
