I wanted to get others’ takes but it seems like the only real way to get a non-spying car is to get an older car without any sort of telemetrics. I saw a video about different car companies’ security policies, well specifically the new Mental Outlaw video, and it just blew me away how even our cars aren’t safe. Anyone got tips for how to anonymize their car?

I plan to buy 2003 Skoda Octavia for obvious reasons or some car with automatic transmission.

My cousin still drives her 2003 Octavia and it’s still in great shape. Diesel, manual and four wheel drive. Amazing car!

My car is built in 2003 and I don’t think I’m ever moving it on.

It peaked in 2005 before the driver inputs got overrides and and speed outputs started lying to you.

I couldn’t even imagine a car connected to the internet.
