This might be a bit controversial

But if you can’t afford to buy the vehicle in cash, you can’t afford the vehicle.

This is the inherent evil in the spread of Western values. Build car centric societies. Keep people poor, keep them dumb, and keep them fat.

I totally agree, and proudly own our vehicles outright! Don't care if they're a bit older.

Damn skippy. We own all our cars hell just bought a 20 year old truck for 3300. Fuck paying 40 to 90k on fucking car. Plus all the computer bullshit where it can be expensive to fix, or worse car companies can shut down features or put them behind paywalls. Not happening for me.

I rather we had better public transportation though and not have to rely on cars to get around if I could I rather only have a small car or van that you use for long road trips and commute by bus or train.
