Never EVER would I buy a car from any manufacturer that does this.
- You might not have a choice if they all decide to do it. Companies are actually kinda good at that kind of collective actions sometimes.
  
  When this becomes the norm. I look to the jailbreak community for hope.
  I WILL download a car!
  
  In my area it would take a whole 5 seconds before people either jenk mod it or otherwise jailbreak it. Ive seen VW vans from the 50s with fucking V8 diesel engines around here, folks dont need the guts just the frame.
  
  Time to break out the bus pirate, o-scope, and soldering iron.
  
  It's jank modding time!! I know nothing about cars but I'm really good at making something resemble working
- We said that when the Oblivion horse armor released. And look where we are now.
  At some point basically everyone will do it and marketing will fo the rest.
  
  Oblivion doesn’t cost $50k+ to buy. If these greedy fuckers think they can RENT me parts of a car I already own, they can go fuck themselves.
  
  John Deere has entered the chat
  
  All modern problems can be traced back to Ronald Regan and Todd Howard.
  
  not playing AAA games
  sadly though micro transactions have dominated
  here’s to hoping we have non bullshit car options in the future
- Neither would I, but the majority of these cars are going into corporate fleets. I'll have one at the end of the year. I assume corporate isn't going to pay for the optionals so I'll be stuck with a crippled car through no choice of my own.
  
  What job/country do you work in where you still get a corporate car?
  
  IT in Flanders, Belgium. Company cars are almost a given for white collar jobs and even many blue collar ones here since regular income from work is taxed to high heavens. Companies look for other ways to compensate employees without actually having to raise their base salary. Just recently this shifted to electric-only, so most company fleets now are stopping leases on diesel & gas cars and replacing them with EV's.
