I Think I Don't Want These Computers in Cars Anymore

IMO "turn of the century" was the "just right" amount of tech in cars.

My 2000 Dakota R/T is probably the newest vehicle I can still work on.

...and it's not terribly difficult.
that's were i'm at man. my 2002 taco will likely be the last "new" truck i ever buy-- and even this one i bought used!

from a complexity standpoint it's pretty simple PS/PB/AC/AT 4 banger so there's nothing on it that i can't fix. but it's pretty much a stripper with crank windows and zero other options. i miss some of the stuff from my 05 ram (power windows/locks, heated mirrors, satellite radio, towing capacity, killer interior, meat locker level AC and gobs of power) but i wouldn't trade up for any of that at this point.
