I’m hoping to wait until PDJT is back in office before buying another car.
Reasons:
1. I want a car that doesn’t spy on me or track my location.
2. I want a car without a kill switch that the goobermint or manufacturer can use to shut it down.
3. I want a car that can’t be hacked and used to kill me (like accelerating into a tree, for example).
4. I want a car without jacked up dealer fees.
Many more reasons, but those are the top ones that occur to me.
I agree. It bugs me that most of the used cars now think keyless entry and keyless start are selling points. I keep it in the back of my mind that if I bought a car what would it cost to take it to a mechanic and have the blackbox/GPS equipment removed. That is becoming difficult too. Many of today’s mechanics are trained in how to read computer diagnostic reports in order to repair cars.
I am with you about PDJT. FJB signed an EO requiring kill switches on new cars starting in 2026, so one hopes PDJT reverses all this crap and lets the market decide not DC.
