I am going to hold on to my 2013 car for as long as possible. Fuck this future where everything “““needs””” to spy on me and everywhere I go.



Expect that soon enough they will ask people to put some colored sticker in their car, depending on the age of the car, the technology of the engine, and then you won't be allowed to drive "here" or "there" or you will need a super expensive "pollution-pass".


Even my 2013 has OnStar. I gotta figure out how to kill that as well


AFAIK - pre-2015 OnStar used 2G cellular radios which no longer work since we shutdown that cellular network a few years ago. You can check your VIN here to verify but I don't think you have anything to worry about: https://activate.onstar.com/en-US


Rooted cars will be a thing soon enough. If that doesn't work for you, consult your local Amish community for transportation options.
