Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.
Cars with just efi and abs are avilable up to like 2019 before the gov made them put black boxes in.
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.
No they didn't bud. Regular (working class, non tech) people in the 90s had never heard of GPS, had hardly heard of a computer. Outside of super niche luxury brands of cars, it wasn't a thing at all.
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.
Yes but im willing to bet they dont all phone home like cars of today, government has full control of all new vehicles due to regulations. Black boxes, brake control, cameras, your new car is a rolling surveillance tool.
