Whenever the topic of software and cars comes up, since I work in the software industry (with a bit of hardware on the side) it's funny to see that almost everyone I've met thinks I drive something "really high-tech" (I've actually been asked several times if I have a Tesla) but they're all very shocked when they find out what my daily driver is: an early-70s "land-yacht" with no software and minimal electronics, but an upgraded powertrain.

I'm really not a fan of the newer cars with tons of complexity and horrible UX (e.g. touchscreens replacing physical controls.) It could be a bit of a "knowing how the sausage is made" effect too, but I also happen to know quite a few software engineers who are into classic cars as well.
