Gotta be willing to ride or die when it comes to driving older vehicles. Especially since newer cars are significantly heavier than in the past. It'd be safer for me to do a corner to corner wreck with a Chevy Chevette than a Toyota Prius.
Otherwise, yeah cars and trucks on the used market are just scooting up in price to be absurd. Parts are getting worse across the board. Unless your autistic to find shit made from odder companies (bearings from FAG, remaned OEM axles, rebuilding your master cylinder. Euro cars have a higher chance of parts being manufactured in eastern europe) your average person will buy whatever POS is at o'rileys or god forbid autozone. Unfortunate. Because it means less people will be able to get cars that have no built in tracking, remote disabling etc. And the ability to machine and remanufacture parts with easily accessible machine tools. I swear at some point we're gonna have to clone this shit ourselves.
And fuck the chicken tax. The fact I can't buy a Toyota Hilux is a crime against humanity. What else are you going to use to mount a home built recoilless rifle.
