I bought a $24,000 Mitsubishi 4-door last year.
No way I was going to spend this much on a new car.
No way I was going to spend this much on a new car.
As of early 2026, the average new car price in the U.S. hovers around $49,000 to $50,000, with a record high of $50,326 reached in December 2025.
Average price of what I'm looking at is U$36k, no point in spending more, I could spend less.
Everything is great
if i ever got a car it would be a tiny japanese thing. or an import mini. one feels the need to live up to clownish stereotypes when a stranger in a foreign land.
toyota hilux is world famous for being converted into madcap technicals. zero shame in owning a japanese vehicle. unless you're an ethno-nationalist, i guess.
i have zero reason for a big american suv with a godawful power-to-weight ratio that lets me reach 60 in 30 seconds or whatever. ford etc can all suck it. they use the cheapest component imports anyway. i would drive the tiny japanese trucks if they were street legal in more places. seriously they let teslas onto roads, wtf.
i am also starting to shy away from upgrading to a new vehicle. right now we're talking about ai that's constantly scanning your face and body. i find it highly creepy and invasive. If It SaVeS oNe LiFe! highly weird, the idea of being subject to ignition gates like that as if you're already a dui convict. this is rich territory for creative writing. what do you do if you're being carjacked and your model 2028 shitbox is like "oh, i don't like the look of those pupils. let's calm down first." another place you won't be able to escape from ai. let the bubble burst already.

Thats a good point. I may need to mount a 20mm cannon at some point so should probably buy a Hilux now.
You make a good argument for keeping my relic on the road or buying the outgoing Outback.

Or just wait for this to blow over and buy a horse.
I used to know an electronics engineer who refused to won a vehicle with fuel injection - something about not wanting a computer to take the big decisions in his life - like fuel air ratio.
