I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She’s been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won’t last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?

    Alternatively, does anyone know of (a) car(s) which are easy to remove any computer systems?

      While you “can” strip computer systems off a car… It is not recommended, for you never know the underlying impact (interms of interconnectedness) what you are removing has to the crucial driving routines…

      I mean, you might unplug the heating of your car seat, and turns out the car thinks you have no seat… That sorta thing…

      Edit: Unless the hacks are made public (of which are barely available, since they are a part of companys’ trade secrets, someone’s butt will get a proper suing for this) Just avoid them completely if you can.

      You cant remove just any computer systems. Your current car would not start without all the chips inside.
      New regulations require the use of several sytems ranging from ABS to eCall.
      If you don’t want any of those, just repair/buy an older car.
      There are still cars being made without tablets in the middle if you just want that.
