            Safe from a privacy perspective. Otherwise they’re very unsafe by modern standards. Minimal airbags. Often no ABS. What ABS that is there is less sophisticated than modern systems. Worse structures for crash protection. No stability control. No traction control.

            Plus they’re just old. Last year, I spent more on my 20 year old car than I did on my 2 year old car, that includes loan payments on the new car, fuel, tires, insurance, and maintenance.

            Get something from this century at least.

            Go for a car from the 19th century just to be sure. They might miss a few features, such as differential, but if you’re worried about your privacy it’ll be worth it!

            /j obviously.

          I guess you’ll have to do your research on that but you saying there is not one car for you is just wrong

            This article is literally about how they tested 25 brands and zero of them passed privacy review.

      You can take public transportation. Oh wait, that requires governments to actually supply cities with useful and we’ll organized public transportation and since you’re probably in the US (the only country left that still uses the useless “miles” metric) and the US government has been bought up by (amongst others)car companies, there isn’t any meaningful pyblxi transportation left.

        I can assure you that miles are quite useful for determining distance, I do it nearly every day. Other than that you’re spot on.
