Entering a vehicle or sometimes just walking past it exposes that person to that auto manufacturer's privacy policy.

Confirms my bias to not buy newer cars than the early 2010s. My last new car was a 2011. It is just right with OEM Bluetooth hands free but navigation etc is handled by the phone. The controls are still knobs and buttons. Not a screen in sight
2015 with manual transmission, manual windows, manual locks, and knobs as controls. I need to keep this car running for at least another decade because they just don't make them like this anymore. I dont want the extra weight of electric motors in everything and the cost to replace said motors.
2015 with a manual T? Sounds like something I'm not European enough to understand.
2021 manual transmission/windows/locks, no alarm, no navigation. Lots of buttons and only the radio screen. Love the simplicity of it
which make/model?
I can’t answer for them above, but a lot of people I work with prefer bare bones vehicles and they usually purchase used fleet ones.
I love finding old fleet vehicles. I currently own what used to be a Menard's rental truck.
Jeep wrangler. Please don't associate me with the jeep bros and hoes. It is bare bones, I live in the country and need 4wd. 90% of the miles on it are on dirt/mud/snow
I’ll allow it.
:D
Don't worry I'm on the other end with my Cherokees over the years. Barely lifted, fully loaded, stock, and the quietest exhausts I could find. Drove the rock and mud crowd nuts that wanted to see them super lifted, no exhaust and beat to hell. I love back road driving but I prefer to be a little more civilized about it.
