Oh my god I would like to see a hatchback or a sedan or a station wagon on the road again please. Every car manufacturer is selling maybe a single massively overpriced sports coupe, maybe the world's most boring shopping cart that feels like it's made from soda cans but is still somehow unaffordable, 10 Suburban Assault Vehicles of various sizes, and like 3 monster trucks.
Holy shit maybe roads wouldn't be such a hell nightmare if they weren't only selling tanks.
Yeah, if you don't already have a car or get a hand-me-down from family, you're kinda just fucked forever. Nobody established will understand why this is a problem, because they're already on the trade-in ladder and can get less ridiculous loans purely because they already had a car.
The people I know my age who have cars right now got them as hand-me-downs, and even then its expensive as fuck for everything related to it.
The boomers I know who aren't rich or anything but have the money for it do the buy new and trade in every few years thing, and I just can't understand how even that doesn't cost an absurb amount of money. They just talk about it like it's a normal thing to do. I guess that's what having a good pension is like, which no one else will ever experience lol
