Thats why I'm buying 90s toyotas with manual transmissions and low mileage and tucking them away.
Considering even renting storage units for this

Some hybrids can be allright. Anything that runs on purely electricity is going to be locked down. Electricity grid is running on low supply? They'll lock your car. The fact that electric cars have huge tablets is a gradient towards this kind of "ownership" regarding cars.

Luckily motorcycles are not yet on the cuck list.

I have a 2012 Ford Escape Limited. It's got all the bells and whistles I'd like, I bought it for very cheap, mileage is still low at 100K, it runs like a champ.

Only thing that makes me nervous is how rusty it is. Does this spell doom for the important mechanical components or will I be able to drive this thing for another 50k without issue? I can afford much better I'm just enjoying no payments and low stress.

I looked into trading up for a similar vehicle and they only offered me $2.5k for trade-in, I was like why the fuck would I do that for basically the same car?

Convenience doesn’t always translate to a better qol. I’m not 50, but I’m in my 40s, so I was fortunate enough to grow up through all the changes over the last several decades. Is life better now than before? That’s a hard no for me, but that’s not to say everything was peachy. I just think that advancements in technology has only made it easier for the goldsteins to better hide and manage their control of things.

look at this retard. The sad thing is he's not even trolling, he actually thought this was a good argument and smugly typed it out. He thinks in a linear consumerist way, that having more is automatically better, even if its more bad stuff.

Rust on frame = bad
Rusted bolts also bad. I doubt it makes it 50k without something putting it out of service.

I've been thinking this for a while. Convince me not to just drop 20.5k on a red v6 honda accord in manual right now. I keep flip flopping because my 90s shitbox runs fine and I can wait for prices to improve but they really aren't and it seems like they are disappearing slowly

that's wrong. that's just money that have been devalued. you need to pay more to have the same level of quality. quality still exist, it's just expensive.
