Don't quote me on this, but I have a feeling you're going to be one of the handiest people to have around when people wake up and decide to purchase an older car. Not every beater got picked up during Cash for Clunkers, after all. 😀
That is definitely true. I had an older clunker that I didn't want. They wouldn't take it because it was too old. They only wanted the newer model used cars that people who couldn't afford new cars would buy.
That's if they don't outright ban them in the name of the "environment." The amount of shit I get for my older vehicles and these kids telling me they hope the gov't bans them because of pollution (then same kid gets in his H3 or X5).
Same. I drive an old pickup truck. Get endless shit from the neighbors that all drive Tesla. I got a bunch of articles printed out with pictures of the horror show that is lithium mining and hand out copies I keep in the glovebox whenever they say shit -- and I usually tell them "just think how many people DON'T have a electric cars for every person you convince to drive those POS you're endorsing another one of the mines in the name of 'the environment'.
It's fun but nobody gives AF. They're all do what their told people.
Then they look at their "clean" EV and look no further that the EV itself because they're told "it's clean". Nevermind the pollution and destruction that goes on behind the scenes. Electricity comes from somewhere, the paints produced are the same process as traditional vehicles, the components and so on.
It's just burying their heads in the sand. The feel better about themselves because they see it as they're not affecting the environment (which is in itself wrong - just not doing it directly).
Glad I’m a mechanic. I’ll keep my old beaters for $500 Alex!

Cash for clunkers goal was to remove affordable, reliable and cheap transportation from circulation.
Next hoax grab will probably be cash for gassers, with EV vouchers...

Ya know what................. that makes far too much sense.

15 years ago or so I wanted a Hummer so I could take up an entire lane by myself.
