Five years ago it was a lot easier to buy a car for less than $30,000.

    Were putting the country that makes actual usable cars that don’t cost more than a house under 240% tariffs… That is against capitalism.

    And that’s why I’m only going to buy classic cars from now on. I can wrench on them myself and tariffs don’t make a damn difference

          If you are really good at what you do you could avoid a lot of the mess by driving a classic. (Scouring junkyards)

          The real challenge though isn’t just that the parts will have tariffs; It seems like auto parts in general have taken a massive hit in quality

          Yep “a parts”, you don’t like it take it up with apples keyboard I’m done fixing it’s “corrections”. No one’s fighting you on new car prices, but just don’t pretend gonna get away without paying the tariffs keeping your classic running.

              And you get to look at the Gulf of America on your equally shit device.

              Edit: Apple really can go fuck its modern keyboard and corrections.

              “Hey, something shitty is going on.”

              “omw On my way!”

              The hubris is gross, from both major systems.

                I just opened up CoMaps because I never actually checked before, and it is in fact the Gulf of Mexico, while google and apple both have “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. I’m also learning that CoMaps is on the app store, so I guess my takeaway is you should try not to use the default apps on your device.

    Main reason for me is tech i hate. I don’t want any tech. Efi, and maybe AC. Maybe ABS for winter but not needed. Stop making me buy junk I don’t want. I’ll stick to old cars that aren’t a rolling computer that is locked down by a dealer.
