    Huh… didn’t even know they were putting HUDs in cars now. Guess that’s how it goes when you’re driving a car from 2007 with no intention to replace it till it dies.

        Idk where you live, but in the rust belt anything past 15 years old is basically dead due to significant corrison. I wish there were more to be done about it because I love wrenching on old Miatas, but they just continue to salt the roads even months before the first snowflakes (at least, where I live) and it eats vehicles to the point of safety issues and frame breakages over time. (My first car, a 1999 Suzuki esteem, actually had the frame snap while I was driving due to this. Body corrison was minimal, but the frame and undercarriage had completely given out).

          The oldest vehicle I’ve owned, a 2004 Ford escape couldn’t even make it to 17 years old. The axle snapped due to rust damage. Road salt is so terrible for vehicles, roads and the environment

      They’ve had HUD in cars since the 80’s.

      Granted it sucked, and typically only showed speed, but it was there.

      I think they’ve been doing HUDs in vehicles since the late 80s? They’re not very common though since they generally have reliablity issues (this is a lease).
