This one seems elementary, but how about just taking care of what you already have? No point in buying something twice. Take care of it and you'll have it for life.
The problem is today that most things aren't make to be fixed any more.

It's all about making money and they can't do that if their product keeps working.
“Arms in the hands of the citizen may be used at individual discretion for the defense of the country, the overthrow of tyranny, or private self-defense. It’s not the proper role of government to deprive a citizen of his “unalienable right” to defend his life, liberty, or property.” – John Adams

It would cost a small fortune to remove the computer stuff and hardwire your basic systems back in old school style. Even your gas gauge runs through the computer now days.
