    This is complete bullshit. The majority of people who take care of their cars are either wealthy or poor. The poor do it themselves and the wealthy just take it to the dealership.

    I grew up in poverty, all our vehicles were 20+ years old and used. And all had 200k+ miles on them easily. All my poor friends same thing. Hell if someone’s car had issues the community would usually step in and the guys who knew how to work on the cars would do the maintenance or fix the issue. Even today now that I’ve got a well paying career I don’t buy new and I still work on my cars.

    Privilege has nothing to do with keeping a car properly maintained. That’s just ignorant.
