How many more years before me never owning a car and never driving is enough to put me on a list?
I won't own anything made after 2015... That's when LTE chips started becoming standard in cars...
I told my wife, my next car will have a carbuerator.
Glad my 2018 car only had 3G which I had removed at the dealership due to it causing battery drain so I’m good!
A carburetor is a step too far, you invite misery, do you hate yourself? Take care, lol.
But yep would love to see more folks keeping old cars running, I won't be taking the plunge into "~mortgage and routinely operate my own bubble of dystopian hellscape", think I'ma pretty much lifetime "pass" on that flavor of nastiness.
I want my next car to be an ev... but with manual window winders
Then Slate has an EV for you!
Get an old car that doesn't run and an EV conversion kit.
Spend $40,000 to end up with a $5000 car.
You drama queens need to learn about black electrical tape.
Eh better then throttle body fuel injection. I drive carb, direct injection and throttle body. Never had much issues with carbs other then my fucking rototiller.
Carbs waste 30% more fuel.
No they don't. I get better fuel economy on some of my carbed vehicles, it's just another aspect of fuel use not some sort of downgrade.
I'm 42, living in the united states, never had a drivers liscense.
If they tried this over here, people would die. Because they'd force me to be behind the wheel of an automobile.
And thus, people would die.
The US does have this law. It's just not enacted yet because there's so much they're demanding in the law and automakers say it's not possible. But it doesn't force someone who doesn't drive to drive.
