Buy American. We have a Buick and a Ford in our garage.

I actually suspect we are moving more to a 100% rental type model.

Cars have just become WAY too expensive.
50-80k for a pretty standard car?

That is a HOUSE!

if they rolled all of the expenses, tax, title, reg and insurance into a weekly rental fee. and you could drop it off and pick up a different one every week month for a +/- fee. it would probably be a winner. and likely the way things are going.

far better than paying $600+/ mo for an 8 year old car that is out of warranty and constantly requires service. Or worse, an 8 year old EV that has a max 30% battery!!

Ford does it with their navigation. They want $90k for an F250…and the ability to do “software updates.” You get 12 months of using the navigation before they want more money……..I guess they didn’t realize you could just use your phone and car play to the screen.

I have a Honda Ridgeline. Made in Alabama with more American parts than Ford or Chevy.
