    This has been one of the major reasons I have no desire to buy a new car. I do not want a $30k IoT device that spies on me. Unfortunately, that is pretty much the norm now.

    If/when I am forced to buy another, I’ll be looking hard into which ones are the easiest to rip the modem out of. Can’t be an IoT spying device without the internet.

      I’m looking into restomods myself. No need to buy a new car and rip it up.

        People modify their cars all the time and my insurance company has no business tracking everything I do either.
