People in Cuba have been unable to get new cars for a long time. They kept their old one running from what I have read. Tell a lesson from Cuba Find a car you like and keep it till Washington changes their mind. They care about lost taxes if cars aren’t sold. My current truck is 10yrs old.

They’d make us drive pedal cars like when we were a kid if they could produce the same tax money they now garnish.

“They care about lost taxes if cars aren’t sold. My current truck is 10yrs old.”

We don’t own a vehicle that isn’t younger than 14 years. All are still going strong with just regular maintenance and a few brake and exhaust jobs over the years.

I’m with you. I’ll never buy new and will pay cash to a private seller if at all possible. I’ve owned ONE new car in 31 years of driving, and that one lasted me 13 years.

I’ll never understand the mentality that a car is a status symbol or a fashion statement. It’s transportation or a tool, in regard to our two trucks. *Shakes Head*

Bring it on, Mother Government. I thank God every day that he gave me the brains to outwit you at every turn, LOL!
