For over a century, the automobile has represented freedom, power, and the thrill of mechanical mastery. The connection between driver, machine, and road defined what it meant to own and love a car. But in today’s digital era, a different trend is unfolding. Cars are no longer just machines designed to take us from point A to point B. Increasingly, they resemble something else entirely: smartphones on wheels.
$1500 put into a 2003 Honda Accord is COMPLETELY different than putting that into a 2016.
And I want ALL buttons. No touch screen AT All
Yeah you will do it every six months.
Honda Accords from that era are remarkably reliable, and can last for upwards of 250k+ miles
Why are you lying?
I guess you have never dealt with the bullshit hassle of a 20 year old car…
Why are you living in a dream world?
I own four 20+ year old cars. Don’t talk shit about stuff you have no clue about.
Old cars are work for sure, but if you are willing to learn it’s not bad.
I have a 2007 Mustang. I’ve replaced the entire front suspension, rear differential, alternator, and paid an upholsterer to replace the convertible top. I upgraded the radio and put in a 10inch touch screen with Wireless carplay and integrated backup camera. Next up is dropping the trans to replace the clutch plate, throw-out bearing, resurface the flywheel, and replace the rear main seal on the engine while I’m down there because the flywheel is rusty and accumulates a thin layer of rust every morning that makes a grinding noise for 30 seconds until it grinds off.
It definitely doesn’t just work like a new car, but since I do the work myself it also doesn’t cost me much.
Sounds like a pretty good project car it sounds to me like that is your hobby.
I bet you have a very well provisioned toolset and a pretty sweet garage and don’t even think about the time you spend on that thing.
So you will if you pay a loan for a new car…
…more, actually.
