Reposts require the highest cost and social capital on Nostr. You’re saying “this deserves to exist in my namespace” and staking your curation reputation on it. It’s an endorsement that travels with your identity.

If you haven’t given much thought to what you’re driving, you should. Buy a used car before 2010. No cellular module, no OBD II kill switch exposure, no over the air updates. Just metal and combustion. Zero percent computer is the goal. Your car shouldn’t be something the government can shut off from a server room.
