@pabloniusmonk@mastodon.social @WSJ@flipboard.com also fatigue from being nickled and dimed by greedy executives. Some cars you need to pay a subscription fee for heated seats. New vehicles cost way too much and even used cars cost an arm and a leg. Only way to get a decent priced vehicle now is via a private sale and that's assuming that the seller doesn't have dollar signs dancing around in their heads.
