      Who said a car is supposed to be a source of joy. A car moves you from point A to B, you might be able to find joy in either of those two places but the consumerism of financing a larger than necessary purchase is pretty fleeting.

        LOL you just had happen to you what the country did to Jimmy Carter who dared to say that people might spend a little less since the economy wasn’t’ happy. It’s why Reagan got elected and we’ve never recovered.

      LOL this isn’t like the 1950s which were filled with propaganda films touting freedom on the road. No, we’re in a world that is slowly collapsing economically and people have to stop chasing the shiny and focus on what they need. Let the monkey brain rest for a while, it will always want more shinies.
