yes! same here. and I would want to be comfortable driving into the ground too...

I do wonder sometimes about the trade-off for getting a newer car so I could wire it up with George Hotz Comma AI self driving hardware for $1000.

But i like my old car design. I just wish newer Toyota's came with a "dog mode" to stay cool in summer like Teslas.

just in case Santa is listening, these would be wishes on new car:

--able to wire Comma Ai

--dog mode

--high ground clearance for Texas beach/big bend national park desert roads and potentially an excursion thru Mexico to El Salvador
