One thing I’m concerned about is recording equipment leaving identifiable information without us knowing about it.

I’m pretty familiar. I think you’re more referring to modern CAN bus systems that record everything under the sun. Basic ECUs from back in the 80s just didn’t do as much. Even my ‘12 only has OBD2 and the data collection is limited. I have so e fairly advanced diagnostic equipment to read all this stuff. The only thing I can’t do is program it, but I’ll be doing that soon enough.

No, even ODB from the 70s records you max reached speed, if you’ve hit the governer/rev limiter and how many times.

It’s nothing modern, modern just does it more frequent, more situations, more information, more data points, and mandatory black boxes.

And many vehicles from 2000 onwards have dedicated EDR boxes, what make and model and trim is your 2012?

So sounds like you don’t quite know what’s going on under your hood there ;)
