Its true, the waste part pains me, however im keeping old cars useful on the road and not buying new.

Compared to people buying absolute junk off Amazon every day that will instantly become e waste or plastic waste, I think im actually wasting less. Thats my take anyway. I cant reduce (i like to enjoy life; and also the worst thing environmentslly one can do is have children so im also ahead on that) so ill Reuse. Thats better than recycle.
