Cars are expensive AF nowadays. When I turned 18 in 2005 I could either lease an entry level whip like a Civic with a co-signer for $150-200 a month or cop a decent used car for a couple g. Those same cars are like $280-350 for a new driver with no credit, and even a used Accord that’s 5-6 years old with 60k+ mileage gonna run you close to $10k
thats cuz of da carmageddon extinction level event for autos known as cash for clunkers culled a massive number of affordable used useful cars off da road for stupid idealogical reasons that made driving a more expensive exercise for barrier of entry.
