I used to buy a new truck every year or two, but the prices the last few years have completely turned me off from that. Riding this one into the dirt.
I used to get new one every 5-6 years. Currently in an 8 year old truck with no plans to replace it anytime soon.

Exactly what consumer auto loans are being covered by taxpayers?

The taxpayers pay for everything, one way or another. Who bailed out the automotive industry?

Also, this just in...the new high for car prices has zero to do with the rising cost of insurance. Details at 10:00....

You should pull some reading comprehension and critical thinking out of your own arse, if you can find it.

I couldn’t imagine working my arse off and not spending money on shite and just letting it sit in an account. There’s a happy balance.

A few years ago I went from a Frontier to a F-150 instead of a Ranger solely because I got a better deal on the F-150. I don’t need the larger truck and will likely downsize whenever I get a new one. I enjoy having more room and we’ve taken it on many a family vacation, but it’s not a necessity.
I paid $41K for a F150 XLT. That same truck a year later was $53K.

Women became the target of the auto market so they cram every piece of new tech they can in there.
There would be a market for stripped down, quality autos a guy could work on himself. I doubt government regs would allow much of that to happen today.

Top income earners have done very, very well over the past 5 years (higher interest rates actually benefits people with accumulated wealth).
This is what people are struggling to realize. The consumer economy is catering more and more so to the high income earners as they have a vast majority of the purchasing power in the country.
