And that's why I'm only going to buy classic cars from now on. I can wrench on them myself and tariffs don't make a damn difference

Until you need to buy a parts, I’m rebuilding a truck and watching the prices go up
-
If you need parts, you go to a junk yard and get parts. No importing needed.
Assuming you drive something like an old civic or tercel.
-
Junk yards only carry parts for so long. They generally crush and recycle stuff after a certain time. Sure there are still some backwoods places that still have a decent collection, But the vast majority of yards don't have that 2003 pilot gt anymore.
-
Old cars are built in a way we can fabricate parts to fix them as well. No reliance on china parts to get an entire vehicle running (MAF sensor that only is made in a factory in some obscure country)

A parts, huh?
Still not going to cost me 40-50k and the subsequent stealership costs
-
If you are really good at what you do you could avoid a lot of the mess by driving a classic. (Scouring junkyards)
The real challenge though isn't just that the parts will have tariffs; It seems like auto parts in general have taken a massive hit in quality
-
Yep “a parts”, you don’t like it take it up with apples keyboard I’m done fixing it’s “corrections”. No one’s fighting you on new car prices, but just don’t pretend gonna get away without paying the tariffs keeping your classic running.
-
You paid premium for an iTurd, too, lol.
-
Great show of intelligence there
-
And you get to look at the Gulf of America on your equally shit device.
Edit: Apple really can go fuck its modern keyboard and corrections.
“Hey, something shitty is going on.”
“
omwOn my way!”The hubris is gross, from both major systems.

I just opened up CoMaps because I never actually checked before, and it is in fact the Gulf of Mexico, while google and apple both have "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)". I'm also learning that CoMaps is on the app store, so I guess my takeaway is you should try not to use the default apps on your device.

Keep your classic cars roadworthy and registered.
Legislative changes and requirements for useless and dangerous Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are making it more difficult to keep older cars on the road.
