It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Steer-by-wire cars would still have tie-rod ends etc., though. In other words, they have all the same failure modes as purely mechanical steering, plus additional ones introduced by the servos and computers.

And sure, maintenance on old cars is a thing, but every car gets old eventually so there's not a real difference there.
