re: #323 Obdicut

And that’s perfectly fair. However, it’d be superior to get a new truck that you know would last a long time with much better gas mileage.

The kicker being, of course, that it’s pretty hard to figure out which makes and models will actually last a long time. We generate that data over time. Especially with the increased computerization of cars and their dependence on fancy circuitry, there’s less reason to put faith into claims of longevity.

And that’s assuming China isn’t refurbishing the chips in the first place. Which they are.

As long as the parts are made (China/India are also making them) old Landrovers are essentially immortal. The net has made fixing them cheaper and easier than it was 20 years ago. Chips? Only chips in my truck are in the paint.
