Old Cars & The Analog Resistance

When our family SUV broke down, I did a deep dive right into cars and found that brand-new vehicles are not only aesthetically and mechanically awful, but are now invading our personal privacy with interior cameras tracking vehicle drivers’ routines. I also found out (and observed in the real world) that there is a major shift back to old autos, which are low-tech, good-looking, and can in fact be taken care of by DIY auto mechanics. The transfer to analog (not just in vehicles however with other products as well) is a useful and effective method to take back our flexibility.
