No doubt when a computer is required to work on a car, it becomes disposable. No one will be fixing and working on 2021 cars in 30 years. No way to even change the stereo when it is all integrated to the climate control and GPS display. Try to find a replacement in 30 years for the computer that operated the windows or the traction control.

My 911 has the upgraded chip in the fuel injection, it is the mega memory 8K chip not the wimpy stock 4K CPU.

Never once have I had to touch the ABS or the power steering pump on the 911.

The future of hot rod modified modern cars is mostly done with a checkbook and a credit card by pros. Not one thing is wrong with that, just not my style.
