Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
