And so it begins. Soon this will be real time reporting.
Cars are the new cell phones. Makes me glad I drive the equivalent of a Nokia 3210.
But do you use the equivalent of a Nokia 3210 phone?
I wish such a unicorn existed. So I just leave that thang at home when I’m doing hood rat stuff.
Put linux on it or go for open hardware right away. :)
Volvo 240?
OG Nissan Hardbody
ohhhhh I love me some minitrucks.
Got any pics by chance?
I wish there was a bigger car community here in lemmy
Yeah, here you go. Nothing special, but unmolested ones are getting hard to find. I do hope more of the car community finds it’s way here.
I’m super not a car guy but the country boy in me misses basic ass pickup trucks. My dad had an old ranger and that thing certainly held stuff in the bed well without requiring a staircase. 🤣
King pick. 740s and 940s also welcome. Rwd turbo bricks ❤️
The addition of the word turbo implies the existence of a car that is even slower than a Volvo brick.
Up till now, no evidence of such a car has been found.Gotta love them My homie had one with the Elk emblem

Nokia 1610 here 😀
1962 Ford?
Hardbody Nissan. It’s kind of a homoerotic name but the 90’s were a different time.
Just wait till we can hook our neuralink implants into the system! Authoritarians and jackbooted thugs are absolutely SALIVATING at the prospect of unbridled access to our every thought. Coming soon! 😃👍
What does OP do with all the time they save by not writing inga
It lease it isn’t 'cause. That annoys me to no end.
This title made my brain spin on itself
This is what you get when you mess with the S’pore police.
Cars are spyware with wheels.
And yet people want electric cars
Newer ICE cars are spyware with wheels, too. Nothing to do with the drivetrain.
You will get no argument from me. However, they still have a engine that you can work on. Electric cars aren’t know for there reparability or longevity. Gas cars still have some issues but they are much more “physical” if that males sense. You can put gas in your car but you need to charge your electric with a charging station.
I think there is a good reason that we moved to gas. It also annoys me that old drivable cars are getting crushed.
Yea electric vehicles are so unreliable that dealerships are all salivating over having captive customers in their service plans.

Clearly you haven’t worked on new Dodge vehicles as they have completely locked their engine diagnostic behind a massive paywall that Dodge can revoke if they feel like to leaving you unable to work on that engine. VW, Merc, Volvo, BMW have all been calling home for the past 10-15 years now as a mandatory way to re-enable ice engines. Ford and Chevy are also looking to (if they haven’t already) locking their internal CPU behind a paywall as well.
TL;DR - All new cars (ev or ice) are getting “features” that lock you out of “working on the engine”
Well that’s why I drive an old car
I’m going to laugh if all this connectedness is the thing that makes people start supporting public transit and biking again lmao.
“Well who wants to fucking drive anymore if you actually get in trouble for breaking the law?!”
The good news is that the Singapore, Korean and Chinese police are way more invasive and aggressive than police in the US. The bad news is that US law enforcement often copies them.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think cars and heavy vehicles should report overspeeding and other reckless behaviour to the traffic police.
I agree that does sound safe but I can’t trust the cops with a record of everywhere I’ve been or some kind of tracking system.

I think a good compromise would be the car only reporting you if you cross the speed limit. But then, you’d have to take the manufacturer’s word for it.
Sweet, I can still text as much as I want that way. Because speeding is the only issue, right?
Inb4 cars are required to jam phone signal when in use.
I will not take any word for it. Nobody is going to want to a drive snitch car, let’s be real.
Well they do are all bad. I’m not sure what anyone expects, it’s like living with a murderer. They’ll never respect you and every breath of oxygen they take is an insult to your life.
