Oregon lawmakers last week gave final approval to a bill that ends the state's ban on self-service gas pumps, a prohibition that has been in place since 1951.
yeah - the only people I know who have purchased a vehicle new in the last few decades are my parents - they’re older and wanted something with all the latest bells and whistles because it’ll be the last car they buy. saw them a few weeks ago, it feels like riding in a smartphone.
for myself, prior to my car being stolen this last December, I had owned it for 18 years and it was used when I got it. the vehicle I’m turning into an RV is 36 years old (though everything “under the hood” is being replaced - engine/drivetrain/suspension/brakes/exhaust/fuel/electrical systems, etc).
it may be that when new vehicles are readily available - whenever that happens - that a lot of folks will purchase ev’s/hybrids, but I honestly dont see it happening.
