Oof, we’re going to see more and more of this with modern cars.
Drive a well-maintained car that’s older than bitcoin and you’ll never have any of these problems.
Mine is 17 years old and just ticked over 380k miles and still going.
380k, goddamn😂
Its a bit like Triggers broom though. How many parts can you replace before it becomes a different car.
A few years ago I bought a 2006 Toyota for under $5K in cash that had less than 100K miles and has cost almost nothing to maintain.
Exactly what I do 💪
A patent for full control & servitude
The future is coming. Just give me a car that doesn’t have an App connected to it and I’m good, I’ll stick with my 02 4Runner for a bit
Seems like this would affect people who’s income isn’t as high or steady; less likely the type of person who would buy a $50k-$60k-$70k truck or SUV.
Just fiat things
