That won’t work at scale; cars wear out, and become expensive enough to maintain that people scrap them

I’m starting to think I won’t ever buy a new car n keep driving older, dumber cats. My current car is an 08, and anything beyond that seems to have been slowly enshittified.

My 1993 Ford Ranger disagrees.

I think every old Ranger is begging to be put out of it’s misery. Those cars were piles of shit when new, and even bigger piles of shit now that they’re old.

On average, people junk cars at about 20 years. A few really do last longer, particularly if they’re not driven daily.

If you’re handy or willing to learn, it’s entirely possible to ship of Theseus most pre-2005 vehicles. For some models it could ultimately be economical.

Right on, got a 97 Ranger. It just literally keeps on truckin’ and I love it.

Protect that thing like it’s worth its weight in gold. I had a 91 that was unstoppable until someone else hit it running a red light. Got an edge now and it’s close but not the same

As does my 2nd car, the 86 4Runner

Just keep 7 or 8 of the same model and fix it yourself. Pretty soon we’ll be able to fabricate every single part on these so even if the parts go out we will be able to keep them running

I thought the same about Smart TV’s. Now there’s no escape. You can only block it’s network traffic.
