I don’t know how old your dad is, but when I was a teenager 25 years ago, I could pick up a car for under $500, and it ran. Now, if it runs and drives it’s automatically $2500. It’s also probably beat to hell.

I can’t really blame kids today for not being interested in that.

    ~ 12 years ago I got an 04 rodeo for $1k and kept it running for a decade until it died over covid. That same $1k 2004 clunker that'll still be in the shop for something every couple of months (even more so now 12 years later) is going to be 3-4k.

    No thanks 🤷my bus system sucks but it works and I can just grab an Amtrak somewhere if I wanna travel.
