Would new car smell have been pleasant to people that lived before the automobile?

God I love this place

You get a thread topic started by someone who probably ate a gummie about an hour ago which is kicking in


Followed by a response by a troll claiming to have a greater net worth than the OP partly because he only buys used cars

I have several friends who are really wealthy. They do not have to work and their kids and grandkids will never have to work.

They’re both humble and would never talk like you.

You think the difference between a new and used car is significant when it comes to net worth?

It smells better than horse poop.

I know several posters here you would be ill-advised to try that foolishness with.

(Anonymous strangers sometimes are really wealthy)

Have fun with your Grandpa Walton cheap-arse holier-than-thou schtick.

There’s a ditch on both sides of the road as to fiscal prudence in the frequency of buying/selling of personal vehicles.

Too often is too often and not fiscally wise.

Too seldom is the same (not fiscally wise). But there’s a sweet spot I’ve hit where I buy new (the correct new vehicle) and then keep them for eight to nine years.

I’m on the fourth generation of that strategy and have spent next to zero on anything other than normal maintenance and wear items for over 30 years.

And I’ve got more money than Davy Crockett.

Considering they smelled horseshite in their carriages.

Basically poison, but called aromatics for a reason.
