Cars peaked in 2004 or 2005, most cars since then seem to be user data collection engines with wheels attached.

Peak car was 1990-1994, largely mechanical, little electronics and reliable as hell. My Merc from that time is built like a tank and everything is screwed together, not glued.

Yes, all on board (except for the airbag) in my 1992 Benz.
