Bring back vehicles you can work on yourself and can afford to drive off the lot.

“Bring back vehicles you can work on yourself....”

Never gonna happen my friend.

The business model is to make ‘em so complex you have to take it somewhere for maintenance.

Look at tesla, you HAVE TO take it to them for anything but tires....most private repair shops won’t touch ‘em anyway.

hell, many junk yards refuse to take ‘em.

Yep, and it is easy too. Just stop completely re-engineering them EVERY year from tire size up. This also requires complete retooling of the factories every year to make them. It is stupid for both themselves and the consumer.

This is the main cause of the highly inflated prices.
