Cars are expensive, and it's our own fault

S3 Magazine Podcast

I saw a meme that got me a little triggered. I mean, while I can certainly appreciate some of the truth to it... I also think "you can't have it both ways". Fact - your parents and grandparents were not driving around in cars that practically drove themselves - with infotainment screens & bluetooth & navigation & backup cameras & auto-everything with auto/dual climate & remote start & turbochargers & traction control & 400+hp with 10-speeds & 12-way electronically adjustable seats that warm your buns, etc. Also - the government largely stayed out of their damn way & didn't over-regulate every industry... running up the cost & unnecessarily overcomplicating products. Our elders lived a simpler, more affordable life. Today - we have the option to complicate ours. We're practically funneled into it. And often times, we jump at that option... so long as we think we can manage the monthly payments. •Get the FREE S3 MAGAZINE APP•
