WTH is Scotty Kilmer's problem, anyway?

I believe ALL newer cars are a problem waiting to happen with many built in failures.
Consumers are mostly responsible for buying into this BS technology for the sake of technology mentality. All types of safety crap for retards yet your car along with the
brake lines rust out in a no time! Scotty only loves his 94 Toyota Celica so don't be
insulted by his Mopar bashing take his tech advice for what it is.

I still have yet to meet a person (besides my... "eccentric" software engineer uncle) who recently bought a newer car (post-2013-ish) and is actually excited about all the tech gadgets and touch screen/infotainment crap. A ton of people my age can't afford it and would rather have something simpler and more reliable anyway. Certain 1990s cars and trucks are in high demand because people young and old are realizing they're just better vehicles; they aren't built to fall apart after 100k miles and don't have 100 electronic doodads to go bad and make the car computer go crazy but are still modern enough to have EFI and basic safety features.

Case in point my '93 Cherokee, 255k miles still with original engine, transmission, transfer case, rear axle... I don't plan on ever selling it, I'll get a more economical daily driver and build the Jeep into a more serious off-roader.
