Americans Are Keeping Their Cars Longer, as Vehicle Age Hits 12 Years

How bizarre. I deleted my final comment because I realized it is ridiculous that it has gone this deep. But here we are.

It's funny that you bring up editing, because the single thing I was replying to was your original claim that your airbag-less vehicle was the same model they sold "everywhere" (which you later edited because of course the vehicle was illegal in a number of nations). I never contested that you bought some bizarrely outdated vehicle in the UK in 2009. If I edited a comment, I made it more accurate immediately, and it's incredibly strange that you think you've caught me out.

I truly don't care about your strange retro vehicle. But in this conversation it is so hilariously irrelevant to the context.

Yeah everywhere they sold the Defender, they sold it without airbags. That's always what I said, and it's true.

You said 'your vehicle was sold in no first-world nations'. This a demonstrably untrue statement, because it was sold in at least the UK.
