Stop buying the crap then. Buy old and used. This fucking shit has to stop. These cars cost a shit load because of massive markup and a shit load of "features" you never asked for. I am not going to go buy a new truck for $60-70k. It is NOT WORTH IT. Unless it makes you money somehow and you can write it off as a business expense. Even then.. FFS.

I drive something that's over 20 years old. I bought it in cash about a decade-ish ago.

It works, I don't need it to do anything else. I replaced the head unit to make it do some extra stuff but that probably cost about $250 since I did it myself. It doesn't track everywhere I go and upload it to some database. It doesn't need "software updates" to work properly. Etc...

From the post:

>Shirria McCullough so loved her new, black Honda Pilot SUV that at first, she didn’t pay close attention to the loan terms. It was only after someone online pointed them out that the panic set in. McCullough, a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, has been trying to eliminate debt from her life while documenting the process on TikTok. After she posted about the $45,000 Pilot, bought in 2023, a viewer commented that they’d never heard of Honda Motor Co. offering loans lasting seven years. McCullough hadn’t realized the loan’s length. The thought of her and her husband paying interest for so much time — adding thousands of dollars to the overall cost — made her “feel sick to my stomach,” she said.

Stop buying the crap then. Buy old and used.

Did you forget that faggot obama did the (((clunkers for cash))) grift about 15 years ago? That (((scam))) removed a huge amount of older good vehicles from the market and destroyed them. The cars that on the used market now are mostly the crap that was made after that time and they are pieces of shit. Sure you can find older used cars from a better time, but how long will you still be able to get parts for them?

The whole thing was a (((grift))) designed to get you into surveillance cars and never ending car loan debt as you have to replace them every 5 or so years. A few can still have a chance at an older vehicle, but they are getting scarce now. We're stuck with the spy car crap and it will only get worse in the coming years. And with these prices and the (((air bag))) scam, the cost of owning a car is only going to go up. But you will own nothing and be happy, goyim.

Nope...

The program officially started on July 1, 2009, the processing of claims began July 24,[2] and the program ended on August 24, 2009, as the appropriated funds were exhausted, having scrapped 677,081 vehicles

Well fuck. That guy was a even bigger piece of shit than I thought then.

Thanks for the info. Ill go read up a bit more on it. I remember that they had commercials on tv/radio/everywhere for it too. I wonder how many millions of $$$ they spent on just advertising alone.
