    Yeah and that 18k car in 1938 was a fucking death trap. Now u can get a newer car for price that that is 1000x safer.

    No one wants to pay for progress

      Not all of this is down to progress. Look at the cost of that college education. Look at the cost of a house. Manufacturing has also made vehicle production massively more efficient.
