technology-wise a 12 year old computer might as well be a dinosaur turd
i had a '92 lincoln continental in my youth for a few years and that check engine light was on so much that the guys at the lincoln dealership wouldnt even look at it anymore - i am not joking they finally told me it was the computer that was bad and that absolutely nothing was actually wrong with the car so if i wanted to fix the check engine light i had to put another dash/computer in it - long story short i painted over the check engine light so you couldnt see it anymore and my blood pressure returned to normal
