    Damn that sucks, two weeks ago there were some floods in my province too, thankfully not the immediate area where i live, i hope it's nothing too destructive in your case.

    The Focus is a good car too, my uncle had a same gen, it was supposed to become my first car but he spun in the rain and wrecked it before i got my license... (he was uninjured)
    Good tires aren't a waste of money.

    Not wrong. Not wrong at all.

    Your online "account" of your cloud-based telescreen on wheels is your vehicle registration. Remember that GM is already selling user data to insurance company to jack up the prices based on how the driver drives, which can make the driver (Read: YOU) docile, and it's a form of coercion, "social credit score" is no longer a joke. I also saw another youtube comment saying when an accident happens, "your" BMW can tell the insurance company whether traction control is disabled.

    That is why I would always stick with an older model instead of a newer model

    The newest car I've owned is twenty years old, and I intend it keep it that way.

    I bought a car to replace my skoda in the winter months so it doesnt rust as much. The car is a 1997 BMW 523iA with the 170hp M52 engine and a 5 speed auto. It has 6 previous owners and 340k kilometers on it. Guess how much i paid for it

    Today, more and more regulations are anti-driver and pro-coerce as shown here for example.
    and here's another example
    In other words, if the manufacturers don't turn on these "backseat drivers" on each and every time the vehicle starts, they will be rated four stars instead of five stars in safety ratings as if these features don't exist.

    Where are we heading?
