It turns out that the “Internet of Things” is full of automated snoops and spies. Data collection, now integrated into new car designs, is more pervasive than ever and is ushering in a brave new world of surveillance and corporate collusion.

    Well an EV conversion would be the only way to get one of those out of its own way. There’s a reason OJ’s bronco chase was so slow… My ex insisted we get a mid 80’s bronco, and it was so bad. I think it averaged about 6mpg and good god it was laughably anemic. If it was me, I would look for a early 70’s or late 70’s bronco. Totally different styles for each, but still better than the mid 80’s anything.

      I think OJ single handedly killed the Bronco as a car anyone with self-respect would own.

      The image of that white Bronco rolling down the highway in the slow lane with a long procession of cop cars behind in second gear was one of the most iconic images of the 90s. You couldn’t have picked a worse getaway car.
