We are living in an age of unprecedented wealth, with millions entering the middle class every year. Homo sapiens live longer lifespans than ever before, with better nutrition, and better medicine than ever in our history. This is also the most peaceful time in our history, with record lows in crime and wars. The developing world is surging in wealth and in the west we have more opportunity and access to information than ever.

“[Prices are] prohibitively high for a lot of households now,” said Todd Campau, aftermarket leader for S&P Global Mobility. “So I think consumers are being painted into the corner of having to keep the vehicle on the road longer.”

Plus have to seen the new models??? It's all touchscreens everywhere.

You can't even drive at night in those things because you get blinded by all the light from the screens covering you entire dashboard.

You wanna use the car infotainment system? Bitch you gotta download the app on your phone so we can collect your data.

Wanna listen to some music? Haha bitch you gotta navigate the touchscreen interface to the radio app and then find the part of the surface of the glass to adjust the volume.

Wanna turn in the hradlights at night? You gotta pay for the monthly subscription of 50$/month for that feature, you bitch!
