I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She's been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won't last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?

When you say dumb, do you mean like with minimal computers? I think I remember reading about Mercedes or something working on a vehicle that's entirely mechanical with zero computer integration. I imagine it would be pretty expensive though

I would prefer something old enough it wouldn't even have a backup camera

You have to buy one prior to 2018 then. I believe that was the year it became standard.

I think its a law that new cars must be sold with them.

Presumably that depends where you live.

Yes for the US backup cameras are required after 2018
