What happened to $1000 used pieces of crap as a first car? Are they gone, or do Zoomers have unrealistic expectations?

If they end up merely being the third richest generation of humans to ever live, is it really the end of the world? Did we think things would just always get better forever, without some force dragging us upward beyond fulfillment of our own basal desires?

And yes, as someone who races shitboxes as a hobby, they're more like 3k now.

They're $3000 now. Cash for Clunkers + COVID killed the affordable shit-box market.
