Me too. Just need to make sure I live where I can walk and bike as I get old.

Same, at least in part. I wish there was a database or wiki of some sort that collected when every model stopped being un-connected and adopted the rest of these user hostile features.

True, all the smarter people end up becoming Will Smith in iRobot.

Hell, some old cars are well supported by completely open-source ECUs. Sadly, the number one best supported car is always the damn Miata.

Likely because they are inexpensive and are beloved track cars. I was hoping the GT88/BRZ would oust the miata from this position- I much prefer a hard top over a convertible, but I think the existing after market and price point make it hard to compete.

I think there are bolt-on hardtops for NA and NB Miatas. Looks kinda funky.

Also yeah, the Toyota 86 family is still too expensive to be a project car for most.

It will become illegal to own such cars and any cars without smart devices will also be mandated by insurers.

This is the world we're going to see soon.

I feel much the same.
