More Than 80 Percent Of Americans Can’t Afford New Cars - Lemmy.world

The economy sure is doing well /s

You cant afford a new house. You cant afford a new car. Healthcare costs are the single largest cause of bankrupcy and financial strain is the single largest cause of divorce. But at least the billionaires are thriving.

My Accord is old enough to vote and I’ll be driving it until it dies.
My car is old enough to have kids my age, but at least I’ll never have to take it to a mechanic. No computers means I can do everything from valve timing to gearbox rebuilds myself, and parts are dirt cheap because they’re being thrown out all the time.
