What i do is keep vehicles for 10+ years and familiarize myself with them. I like the toyotas because there's lots of support groups, youtube videos how to fix everything, lots of OEM and aftermarket parts for relatively cheap prices.

I'ave fixed my brake booster, alternator, belts, axle bearings, rack and pinion bushings, ball joints, exhaust, flushed transmission and coolant, etc. all in just the last few years. The only thing i still pay someone else to do is mount the tires on the rims since the pneumatic machines in the tire shops make it so much easier than me busting knuckles and cursing for one hour per wheel.

Only buy used vehicles that you can see yourself working on.

It's perfectly okay to be frustrated with the stereotypical boomer. And if there's boomers out there who are exceptions then they need to not be big babies and not feel offended. Boomers talked lots of shit about younger generations so they deserve it. Don't dish it if you can't take it.

my family had a bunch of band guys. My father farmed, (chores), sprayed brush for the county, played in a band, and his fourth job was just helping neighbors farm when they needed help. four sources of income = four jobs when he worked only 40 hours a week tops bought and raced cars for slips ( sell back cheap) on a week wages that were high end cars. ate out every day and went to the bar every day of the weekend

He does the boomerisms of "get a degree, get a house( debt and debt)" because that is what his siblings did and it worked out better for them in that economy when whites still got jobs then and could get promoted but he doesn't act like we are entitled as much because he fell into the debt trap and worked for the county for 40 years and then got dumped 6 years before retirement so he ended up having to take his pension early and now works for near min wage trying to keep paying his debt
