Not really.
The older cars could be repaired. The newer ones have sensors and computers that break and then the car is junked.
I have had two perfectly fine cars that would not meet government standards that had to be junked because putting the money into them was fruitless.
We live in a planned obsolescence that his much worse than in the sixties and Vance Packard days.
Congratulations! Freeper children rock!! :^)
