What? All of that tracking data isn't just being used to make cars better? I am sure they'll fix this in the next mandatory update.

This is the #1 thing that is turning me off from being a car enthusiast by a mile. So even if you stay completely legal, abide by every traffic law, if you do some hard acceleration for fun, you're insurance bill is gonna go way up because the car is selling that data.
I love digital tech and I love a fun car but mix the two and you got a match made in hell.

then just be a car enthusiast for old cars and not new ones.
there's basically zero new (attainable) cars that inspire any kind of awe other than crazy supercars tbh.

And that's why I got into motorcycles, I can actually afford something fun :)

Mozilla runs a project to rate the privacy policies of major products and brands.
Car manufacturers absolutely dominate the bottom of the list. They hoover up absurd amounts of deeply personal information and grant themselves the right to do basically anything they want with it.

An old classic car without computers is looking better and better. I can learn carbs.
No need to go that far back, basic ECU fuel injectors + o2 sensors work perfectly fine without telemetry and are WAY more reliable than carburetors.
I don't like the ECU and sensors having the potential to make the car not run, but they do tend to make things more efficient and powerful at the same time.
Nope, venturis and jets are witchcraft.
