From steering to braking, computers are increasingly taking over the car as the years go by. There was even a recent controversy when American cars with OnStar can now be turned on and off with an smartphone app.
Should we worry about it or nah? Are computers improving the car, or are we fixing a problem that doesn't exist by replacing all parts with computer/electric controls? Both?
(Note: let's leave the discussion of self-driving cars for another time because that's a whole different issue)

Op would you go in a space craft without computers?
Probably not.
So why go in a car without computers?

I mean, trashing a computer with viruses is one thing, but if something happens to a car while I'm driving, the least that will happen is thousands of dollar in damages.

3. look for a class

I'm 19, I make minimum wage in CA (~$17k), and live with my parents. Convince me not to lease a 370z or pic related to make my life more exciting than it really is.

if you're actually interested in making your life more exciting, here's a short guide:
1. move out of your parents' house
2. start a non-minimum wage career path - go to community college, trade school, apprenticeship, etc
3. instead of leasing a car like a dumbass, buy an old, simple, reliable car and learn how to work on it. drive it for a while and learn what you like and dislike about it, so that one day when you are in a better financial position you can upgrade.

You won't be able to afford the insurance on either of those.

>>15355131
get a yugo and start robbing banks for excitement
otherwise, just get a used civic or corolla

Should I get the glass in my car replaced with some form of shatter resistant plastic or does it not make much difference in a crash?

I was going to buy a Tesla model S, but then I started thinking about how electric cars are not green at all and in fact very polluting.
This image sums it up pretty well. Electric cars are just as polluting if not more polluting then regular cars.

Get a diesel S class, probably one of the greenest cars made
>>
>>15353114
if you choose a car based on its "greeness" you should get a bike instead.
>>
>>15353114
They also shout "I'm a rich faggot who wants people to think I care about the environement" to everybody.
DESU I want to do a model S BBC swap just to piss Teslafags off.

My first thought towards the car is that it's a cool car.
My second thought immediately goes to retarded 16 year old Hondatards who think a D16 makes 150 HP N/A bone stock because it can rev to 7k, and that VTEC is a gift from god.
TL;DR: Cool car, shit fanbase.
