Good thoughts;
But I will add this.
1: People don't take pride in their cars anymore, (would you blame them)
They all look the same & are designed to only last a few yrs , you have
to take them to a dealer to get them fixed. How many yrs do you think
they will stock the computer chip that runs that car? Sorry that chip
is no longer available, you will have to buy a new car.
2: New cars are like a toaster, use it & when it gets older buy a new one.
(or let the ins Co buy one for you).
3: They think with all the air bags & "safety features" they won't get hurt,
and the ins Co will replace it with a new one, (they can get another
color).
(gee I can get a red one now, tired of my blue one).
And if they get hurt a Lawyer will get them $500,000 or more.
4: A lot of people now can't even read the drivers test, & a whole lot of them
driving don't even have a drivers licence. Much less ins.
5: People now-a-days are NOT like us, we have built cars almost from the ground
up, blood, sweat & tears. I remember cars (57 yrs old) from the time
you could
see a car on the road & KNEW what it was. Not so now. A car to them is just
something to get them from point A to point B (while talking on the
cell PH).
6: It is very sad.
