Re: Feel it creeping on...
I'm in the same boat with my car... a now 23 year old Toyota.
Most anything that goes wrong with that car I can fix, and parts are still available for it. I can fix it largely because it's electrics are simple and don't complain to the ECU whenever I change a light bulb without dealer approval.
I really, really like the idea of a car that I am capable of understanding. I really don't like the idea of a car that's specifically built to squeeze every extra drop of cash out of me by either selling my data, locking me into using overpriced parts, or even being so needlessly over-complicated that repairs become frequent and costly.
