fact is people today want cars with all the features and comforts, which costs more. At least once a year I see dealers selling new cars with manual transmission, no power windows or locks, etc for under 10k

next someone will be bitching about back in the day you could buy a house cheaper than you could today, or a loaf of bread cheaper too.

we are a nation who think we have to live well beyond our means in order to have the most expensive shit
