As a car guy you should know that there's tech in cars these days. Or do you calibrate everything from tpms monitors to re pointing/tunes in your garage?
If something's wrong with your car's head unit firmware or android auto connection or whatever, of course you'd have a technician look at it?

Pretty much, yeah. I race SCCA and build race cars. Exactly why I want nothing to do with these, you don’t own it. You’re leasing the hardware that’s hogtied to the software.
Oh man, you're in for a bad time then, as pretty much everything - yes even amateur racing cars - has software in it now, and you don't own any of it.
As a car guy, it surprises me you weren't aware of this trend yet but I guess we all find out sooner or later. But hey - maybe that '89 Carrera will keep on trucking for a few more decades though - good luck!
I love these replies, hahah. You really think I’m not aware of the software that’s running my 2017 Shelby? The difference is (you know this, I think you’re being purposely obtuse) it’s never connected to the internet, it’s never getting updates, and it’s not a complete car OS that locks you out of doing anything.
