This thread makes me want to revisit an idea I’ve had bouncing around in my head for awhile: open a used car dealership that only sells rebuilt cars from before 1990 - 2000 or so.

- no computer control

- no fuel injection

Etc.

The entire auto shop would be run by Cubans because those guys know how to rebuild anything with wheels. They’ve had to keep whatever American cars they had on the road since the embargo in the 1960’s.

Where can I pre order?

Absolutely, I love the idea!

I'm constantly thinking about selecting appropriate analog or low-tech products to be prepared for what's coming.

That woman that bought the 1998 Ford Escort with a $289/month payments to a loan for several years might be more savvy then once thought

Doing this with pickup trucks would probably be lucrative too,

The news ones are overpriced.

Every type would be done.

I’d get behind this.

I own a 1999 Civic, and those things are rebuild-worthy. Not a whiff of planned obsolescence.

Maybe a tech retrofit? Need CarPlay.
