HUCKSTERS OF THE HIGHWAY

Face

it Facebook fans, cars wear  out, trucks wear out, and yes, old people wear out. I have recently driven three "six-figure" sleds and have had it. The auto mechanics have no mercy for those in despair. Some repair bills are scandalous, few are cheap, all necessary. We are between a rock and a hard spot.


Now, if you talk "New" you must talk depreciation.. plain and simple. From the get-go I have heard "the automobile is the worst investment in the world. But why do millions spend billions? Man's love affair with his car and truck is passionate. It's ego; it is ever so dangerous. The Auto-mile is like the Gaza Strip!


There is no answer. Car poverty begets  car poverty. Having owned over some 30 cars and trucks I think I know the score. Remember Rusty Jones? LOL.


Cars and trucks die at 200,000 for the most part. I have driven luxury cars to 220,000 miles and more. Some have opined "miles are everything"  and if you like Eagles music  why not "Take it to the limit one more time. "Happy Motoring." LOL.
