I’m starting to think I won’t ever buy a new car n keep driving older, dumber cars. My current car is an 08, and anything beyond that seems to have been slowly enshittified.

On average, people junk cars at about 20 years. A few really do last longer, particularly if they’re not driven daily.
Right on, got a 97 Ranger. It just literally keeps on truckin’ and I love it.
