Whut? It's like the general age of an average ICE vehicle before the second out of its total 10 owners over the years takes ownership. Just because you don't realize poor people exist, doesn't mean they don't exist. Poor people can't afford a 150k km vehicle, let alone a 0 km vehicle.

    So we're not the most wealthy. We're Statesian so that puts us up there globally, I get it, but when the adaptive cruise control came out we scrimped and saved so we could get a car with one that was safe. So not tesla. Ours is Toyota, I think Mom's is Honda, my siblings trend to drive Nissan since I had (notice the grumpy past tense) an uncle there and the family discount was nice.

    It took us a year of aggressive belt tightened fuck you Toyota spending to pay off the rest of the car, but we got the only 0km vehicle I will ever buy (okay, more like 30 but the first 50 don't count)
