Good for you, but why do you feel you need to weigh in on the new car market when you have no intention of ever participating?

Why do you feel the need to play conversation-cop?

> Why do you feel the need to play conversation-cop?

Because we're discussing a complaint about modern cars, and "always buy used ones that predate the change, and plan to die before those become unavailable" doesn't really address the complaint. It's a rather idiosyncratic and radical way of avoiding it, and bends the conversation to discussing that personal idiosyncrasy.

I suppose you now know better than to waste your time talking to me in the future, then.
