    You really have no idea what you’re talking about, for this is spoken like someone still of college age. Forget shortsighted. Sure it may be one thing if you’re adept with auto mechanics, but most people frankly are not.

    You do realize there is an inflection-point in both cost and reliability (forgetting newer safety and fuel standards) when owning used vehicles…riiiighhht?

      I don’t think these “Just get a 19XX/200X clunker!” Guys actually do lol im convinced they’re all just old mechanics mad that the thing they know best has now been tainted by “computers”

      You literally spoke about getting a second car, if the first car was so far gone that repairing it was too costly, why the fuck would you humour getting a second car?

      I’ve driven many cars until they broke down, you don’t need to get some shiny new thing just because your current car is a bit old and the world would be far better off for it.

        That wasn’t me but on reflection I apologize for coming off so harshly.

        I don’t know their situation but sharing a single vehicle can really suck especially if both work and you want to divide and conquer on getting shit done.
