As cars become ever more sophisticated pieces of technology, they’ve begun sharing information about their drivers, sometimes with unnerving consequences.

Kashmir Hill, a features writer for The Times, explains what information cars can log and what that can mean for their owners.

    The classic 4chan cars for under 5K chart still largely holds up today.

    Take it with a grain of salt and perhaps bump the years up by a decade or so.

    Personally i would take a 20 year old car with low milage that still has solid saftey features and a comfortable interior vs a newer car with better technology, but arguably worse saftey features and undoubtedly worse privacy.

    Not to mention it’s going to be cheaper to break some shit on an old car vs a brand new one that’s loaded with sensors and computers. My 2 cents anyways.
