    Even used cars cost a fucking fortune right now. I saw a PT cruiser the other day with $9500 on the window. What the fuck

      Still can’t beat the $2000 shitbox Civic that suddenly isn’t a shitbox after you put $500 worth of parts into it.

      Enjoy your $5000 Civic you made with $2500.

      That’s true for any product as a percentage of its RRP. Why would anyone buy a used product for the price of new.
