    Didn't figure that a modern car would be remotely accessible like that, makes the possibility of an attack by car hacking more possible.. also makes me glad that my chevy is from the 80s and carburated.. only thing even remotely electronic is the pointless distributor.. rest of it is mechanically or electrically operated.

    Thinking of getting a 70s K5 after I get my current pickup paid off. Only because those carbureted models are almost the same price as a new vehicle!!

    Sounds good with me.. I like the looks of classic cars.. it's the reason why I drive one. They do require more tinkering, but that tinkering is easy to preform if you have the apitude to do so.
    And also, they really drink the gas.. last I checked my chevy gets 7 miles to the gallon.. so it's a good thing that it's got 2 20 gallon fuel tanks, or 40 gallons in total.
     
    bentstrider83 Thanks this.
