this is exactly why i will continue to drive my car, which is literally older than me. and if it ever breaks down, if possible, i will buy another toyota with no constant internet connection. i just don’t need that kind of extortion in my life.

I’m going to venture to guess that many folks will go the route of Cubans and continuously rebuild their old cars.

why not? if the spare parts are available and people are willing to endure the horrible fuel mileage, let them.

You can buy a lot of gas for the premium you’d pay but buying a brand new car.

Every time I run the numbers to buy a new car vs keeping my 2014 Taco, the Taco wins, even with its abysmal gas mileage.
