They want to make everything impossible to fix. They want to turn our land into landfills and fleece us of our income.
Climate change or no, electric fan or no, anyone with self respect would rather buy a 1990 beater than a new car, they're user and owner hostile.
I’d rather get in an accident with a modern car over a ‘90’s beater any day.
That's what 2000s cars are for! Anything like.. mid 90s and beyond is guaranteed airbags, and they mandated tire pressure sensors in what, 2008?
100% this. I don't like supporting big oil, but at the end of the day I value the ability to repair a vehicle at an affordable cost.
Things like a 20k battery replacement? Hell no thank you, I'll grab another aspirated one with 100000 on the clock, and many more to go.
