Pre computerized cars is going to be pretty hard. We'll run out of old beaters eventually.

They're also less safe and efficient. They're fun, but objectively worse cars to run nowadays that parts can also be hard to come by.

There is no lack of available parts for my 21 year old Chevy.

That was made this century. To go uncomputerized, we need to be looking at the 80s and back.

I wouldn't consider OBD-II computerized.

90s cars had GPS already. They're pretty advanced, other than economy cars. 00s and on, they're chock full of computers.

I suppose that depends on the model you get. On my truck there is no GPS, no On Star, simple CD player deck, which I replaced with 3rd party deck.

Most my cars have been German. Even when there was no internet, they still had a fucktonne of computers. Think there's about 25 ECUs in my 2007 shitbox.
