When our family SUV broke down, I did a deep dive into cars and found that new cars are not only aesthetically and mechanically terrible, but are now invading our privacy with interior cameras tracking drivers' habits. I also learned (and observed in real life) that there is a major shift back to old cars, which are low-tech, better-looking, and can actually be fixed by DIY mechanics. The move to analog (not just in cars but with other products too) is a powerful and practical way to take back our freedom.
