My current car is old. I had a lot of repairs done on it recently. If I get a new car, I don’t want features. Lane assist, backup camera, DUI Camera, telemetry, auto breaking or other frankly silly features. Call me grumpy, but I find modern cars very distracting.
Can I ask a dealership to disable these at purchase? Is there a car that works best for being private besides just older cars?
I drive very little in a year. No, I can’t ride a bike.


Can you pay someone to ride a bike while you sit comfortably in a little covered wagon behind the bike?
Too hilly here. I wish I could ride a bike.
Looked into Ebikes at all? I’ve seen ppl, even some old ppl using ebikes in hilly areas. They really help with hills.
Not trying to say it can replace a car. For most ppl it can’t replace a car, so you still have to figure out the car issues. But it can sometimes be used instead for many trips. Cheaper to run, better for the environment, and lowers repair costs for the car over time. Also the car will last longer so you don’t have to worry as much about whatever new privacy hell exists years later.
I have.
I have poor balance. I don’t even know how to ride a bike.
I live in a crime filled city. It will get stolen.
The city is essentially walled around by non-bike friendly highways. So, I still need a car for things unfortunately.
