      I’ve got a 2007 Kia that I’m planning to drive until I can’t fix it anymore

      So far that’s proving to be a pretty easy given the cost and availability of parts

      Really considering taking out a loan just to fix an old car instead of buying new.

      What’s the difference between never connecting your phone to a brand new high tech car and having no tech in an older car?

        New car is still connected and is monitoring your driving habits, whether you wear a seatbelt or not, possibly recording your conversations, and even keeping track of your weight with the sensors in the seats.

          And monitoring your location, don’t forget about that. You can tell a lot about a person just by seeing where they go every day.
