In the future instead of renting an apartment you will rent a parking space and P.O. Box so that you can sleep in your car. The laundromat and showers might be included or they might be pay per use.
Now, these alarming average new car prices aren’t indicative of pricing across body styles and brands; KBB data shows consumer choice was in no small part behind the increase, as the number of full-size trucks hit a five-year high through the end of 2025. U.S. buyers purchased over 233,000 full-size trucks in the fourth quarter of 2025, at an average price of $66,386. Similarly, the average EV sat around $58,034 through the end of 2025, further driving up the average new-vehicle transaction price.
Who are these people buying all these vehicles? I would NEVER consider spending that much on a car and I make decently above what the average household does…
$66k? For transportation?! I’m on year 11 of owning my 3 year pre-used car…
New cars cost what a house used to cost. 7 year loan is wild.
New cars are the house
Yeah, and pay hasn’t gone up for over 20 years
CEO pays have. Everyone else … not so much.

From the USPS. But there are other places like the UPS Store that don’t have that restriction.
It’s like every car salesman next to a military base spread to the whole country like an invasive species…
Well, some do.
A new Camry is $30k, half that.

But only 1 retains it’s value. 10 years in and that car is worthless.
My prius cost nothing when I got it and it’s still worth shit
Depends on the car, if you look at land cruisers for example, they hold their value insanely well
