Who does not own a modern vehicle?

[Detective D]

I recently rode with my sister in her new Kia. The entire dash was one flat screen! All the way from the drivers door to about where the passenger seat starts. Pretty wild, but not something I'd like to look at all the time.

Blue light destroys cells. That thing is pure UV light. Might want to consider some UV blocking glasses lol.

Well I guess my 2013 Charger counts as modern, it certainly has computers. Next down the list is a 2002 8.1 Chevy, deffinately not computers, but still an ECM, and it still has strong nanny tendencies.
I don't think i will ever buy a newer vehicle. They have gotten absurd, I am sick of LED/LCD screens and headlights, they have bunk QC, and cost the same as I paid for my house in 2001. I am seeking a 98/99 5.9 Durango as my next daily to replace this Charger. Hard to find in WI lol, most are returning to the earth.

I will say that my fiancé has a new Subaru Ascent. I do like driving it as it has all the cruise control comforts like automatically slowing down when you come up behind a car. It will steer you back in your lane if you wander. I don't really like that feature. It's great for road trips and driving around cities I'm not familiar with! But, I can't see myself owning something like that. It's just too cool to get behind the wheel of a classic when you go for a drive! Back in the day, the first thing you did when getting to a big city was go to a gas station and buy a map.

That is my son's 93 Wrangler. We drive old vehicles because we not only don't trust this newer technology, but we also just plain can't afford newer vehicles, lol. He drives a 2005 PT Cruiser as his daily driver.

The only vehicle I bought new was a 1998 Dakota Sport. Since then, I bought a used 2008 Pontiac Torrent GXP, which was totalled when some idiot woman ran a red light and T-boned me, and that was replaced with a used 2005 Dodge Magnum RT AWD. So I don't know if any of those count as "modern"...the Maggie is looking her age but at 20 years old and over 325K km, she's still fun to drive, very practical, and plenty of punch. I don't think I'll want anything much more modern than that...

I guess I'm a 75%er. I have 3 modern and 9 not. 1963/64/65/65/66/67/80/99/00/08/14/16. The wife will probably buy one more car and it will be late model but not new. I don't expect to buy anything newer than what I have now. At some point I may sell some of the 60s cars and buy one nicer (but not show car nice). I believe they all should be driven, and driven hard on occasion.

Modern is a flexible term for me. My daily driver most of the time is an 1989 dodge Dakota convertible truck. For some reason I just love the truck, but it is under powered, gets kind of crapy fuel mileage. Then my road car is a 2010 dodge Challenger 6 cylinder, that I also love, it get 28 MPG and has as much HP as a 70 340 challenger back in the day. Independant suspension 4 wheel disk brakes, I call that a modern vehicle even though it is 15 years old. Tried tomake it look like an old TA challenger/

And for pulling the race car trailer or camper a 2005 Dodge Cummins. I paid a premium for it because it is the last year for no emissions on didge diesels. And it is a big improvement in every way over my previous 1998 diesel I sold after 400,000 miles.
