No, the top one sparks gasoline. And the bottom one sparks ... I don't know how electric cars work.

In my opinion, the worst part about new cars is that they are essentially tracking devices and some of them can be remotely controlled.
Any suggestions on how to get a car that doesn't track you and was built post-2010?
Build it yourself? 😅
There is a website that you can opt out of having certain data tracked.
But I imagine insurance companies will use it as an excuse to raise your rates if you opt out
There is also the issue of companies pinky-promising that they won't track you but still call home.
But if no other alternatives are available, this is good to know.
Mazda MX5. I have a 2019 and it's simple. Heated seats, blindspot mirrors, backup camera, led headlights. Absolute joy to drive.
No other tech that tracks you as far as I'm aware.
Why do you think it doesn't track you? It has voice recognition in the infotainment, so it has microphones. I guess it probably won't have mobile data connection since they require you to connect your phone or take it to a dealer for infotainment updates. So might be safe as long as you don't allow it to use your phone data when its connected via Bluetooth or do over the air updates or take it to a dealer for repairs/updates.
I'm not sure if car manufactures do it yet but samsung is known to require data dumps before providing spare parts for phones to 3rd party repair shops, so maybe car manufactures could do that as well?
Thanks for the suggestion, it looks promising. MX5 has only 2 seats, but maybe one of the larger models is good too.
Hard disagree. It is SO much faster for me to read a digital number readout than a analogue one.
This isn't touch screen controls (which are terrible). It's a readout.
Depends on the screen. I like the dull matte screen on those citroën picassos.
I will never put a light mode display in my car. I will take an analogue dial over something that burns spots into my retinas when I'm trying to drive. Even with dark mode, the amount of ambient light coming off that thing is gonna bother me at night.
We need to downgrade everybody's headlights while we're talking about personal preference too. If the car behind me has lights that are so bright they cast a shadow over my own headlights, they're too bright.
Yeah I thought since I'm old I'd be like gimme the old way, but I would actually prefer simplicity for regular commutes.
But I feel like not even car companies want me to have simplicity so they can monetize more doodads
Honestly I'd kill for a digital dashboard that easy to read. Most are way worse.
Well tough luck, you're getting one with roman numerals!
I’d kill for one that was positioned so I could see it. I keep my steering wheel low and my hands cover the speedometer.
