Lol cars last more than "a few years", my current vehicle is 20 years old. I'll easily get another 150,000 miles out of it, probably more. I already have a crate motor picked out to swap in when the engine finally dies. Or I could just "upgrade" to a newer year and still be non-networked.

Now I'm being a little silly, but at this rate of climate change acceleration, I'm starting to bet that my current vehicle is going to outlive capitalism anyway.
