@SchizoLLC @bourbondreaming @basedbtc_ @LVpolitic What model was it back then? Can't you find it anymore?

@bourbondreaming @basedbtc_ @LVpolitic Classic cars in great condition are not really the same as “what if I could buy my high school car back?”. Classic cars are expensive to buy and keep in nice condition.

@mattforney @Kai_Risu_ Whoever is holding on to classic cars- they need to sell now.

This penny-wise-pound-foolish boomerslop re-emerges every three or so months and I'm tired of it. It's a rehash of how boomers used to mock millennials for spending too much money on "avocado toast," repurposed to attack zoomers who expect more out of life then ramen and poverty.
1) Boomers never followed their own advice. Every boomer is a lifelong spendthrift. It was very common for boomers to rack up huge amounts of credit card debt in the 80s only for their spouse to force them to pay it off to keep the marriage from falling apart. I used to work for a startup whose primary customer base were boomers and the endless litany of complaints I got about our prices could fill a book. Hey boomer, stop buying a pack of Busch Light every day and you can save up the $1,000 to buy our product. Unfortunately, telling this to broke old farts was considered "rude."
Boomers love to get themselves into debt for no reason, but they justify it by convincing themselves that these retarded purchases are "necessary." Boomers would excoriate their kids for spending small amounts of money on a CD or a movie ticket while getting into an adjustable-rate mortgage so they could afford a new car. I remember my mom going nuclear on me when I bought a $20 copy of METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SUBSISTENCE from the Kmart I worked at as a teenager. "You're WASTING money!" Meanwhile she was on her third car in eight years, having bought it with a car loan immediately after paying off the loan on her previous car. A car that was perfectly fine. She was also fond of buying the 64-ounce coffee from Dunkin Donuts and heating it up in the microwave the next morning as opposed to brewing her own coffee, which would be cheaper.
Inevitably some boomer will chime in with, "You don't know shit! I had to live in a trailer in 1982 because Volcker blew up the economy and I was only making $13,000 a year!" First off, that's about $46,000 a year in today's money. Second, you were still spending money on frivolities because their cost hadn't ballooned. You could still afford to go out to the bar every Friday because a beer was a buck and your other hobby, watching TV, was free. A beer now costs between $8-12 and streaming services, the modern equivalent of TV, costs $20 a month.
Boomers will even say things like "stop buying new smartphones" not knowing about planned obsolescence. I was using an old Galaxy S6 most of last year after my S8 broke. I bought the S6 in 2017 and the S8 in 2021, both refurbished. I'm a model of boomer thrift! Except the S6 was useless. Couldn't install banking apps on it. Couldn't install X or email apps. Couldn't even install Brave. I could use it for texting and calls and that was it. Couldn't even use it for 2FA, which is mandatory on everything thanks to all the scamming Indians the boomers invited in.
2) We live in a society that has systematically deprived young Americans of any reasonable path to prosperity. First we were told to go to college, then the Great Recession blew up the economy and Obama sealed in the ruin. Then we were told to major in STEM only for boomer politicians to invite a horde of Indians to take those jobs. Then we were told to go to trade school. Trucking has already been taken over by Indians (though the recent Supreme Court ruling has booted them out). You don't think cheap-dick boomers are eager to import Indians or Mexicans to take all the plumber and electrician jobs?
There's already a crisis in contracting. Half the contractors out there are dogshit and will cause more damage to your house then they'll fix. This is because they can only hire felons and drug addicts because the average contractor is run by a penny-pinching boomer who pays his workers shit and treats them like shit. He then whines he can't get any reliable employees. The call is coming from inside the house (on the rotary phone you bought in 1987).
Boomers climbed the ladder of success, pulled it up, and are now belittling everyone at the bottom for not being able to scale a ten-foot wall. They benefited from union wages, a social safety net, and not having to compete with THE ENTIRE WORLD for entry-level jobs. And they have the audacity to blame millennials and zoomers and rattle off BS like "you're poor because you enjoy things." Yeah, I'm sure cutting out the $3 7Eleven coffee will help me save up for a $500,000 house by the time I'm 70.
3) Is this the best America can offer? Living like a turd worlder? I thought this was the Greatest Country in the World. In what universe can a boomer tell young people to live lives of abject squalor and think it's GOOD advice? The Greatest and Silent Generations, whatever their flaws, labored to build a better society so that future generations wouldn't have to live through hellish experiences like the Great Depression and World War II. Boomers, the beneficiaries of that better society, trashed it and then mock you for having any expectations for a good life.
No wonder boomers love Indians. They go together like sodomy and GRIDS. The Indian is what boomers think millennials and zoomers should be: eating vegetable slop, sleeping on a mat in a basement with a dozen other people, and thinking this is not only an acceptable way to live, it's DESIRABLE. This fuels boomers' love of Zillow crack shack slop posting. They actually think it's good advice to move to some shithole in the rural Midwest and work at Dollar General for the rest of your life.
Why is socialism appealing to young people? Because of boomers. Because boomers think it's funny that they rugpulled you, made off with society's riches, and now get to lecture you about thrift while they sit on a wealth of home equity on a shitbox they bought in 1979. They're saying "let them eat cake" while the angry mobs form outside the castle. If we end up with a Zohran Mamdani-like figure as president, it'll be because of boomers' stunning lack of empathy. A generation of psychopaths.

Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"

@KingOfMopar1 Happy to see the 6.4L (392) stay in production in some platform. Put a 6 speed in it like the classic SRT-10 Ram also. I prefer cars but trucks are cool😎
