@ATLeagle @urbanfoxe @billyjoebowers @FoxeinSocks I drive a Ford Ranger from 2003, and it's great. Parts are cheap and plentiful. It's easy to work on, but has modern "think about it 4 times a year" reliability. I've swapped the factory stereo and have wireless CarPlay and a back up camera, and it wasn't even hard.
I am not optimistic about in 2045 being able to swap whatever the state of the art of infotainment interfaces is into the cars that are being sold now.
