re: "lifetime fluids", AMG engines dropping valves, BMWs with tail lights that have to be coded, audis with 8 different chain tensioners, lexus engines that live under a plastic shield and you can't even check the oil, etc etc. that's largely someone else's problem, and by the time those poor SOB's get them and want to maintain them, they aren't the ones filling out the dealer surveys.
That's not just a german car thing anymore. The shit I'm dealing with now is in new Honda/Mazda/Kia new cars on the lot.... so, even for the cheap new cars its not far off. Everything has canbus and lots of features.
And its going to get worse as buyers demand more new car "tech".
I swear I sound like a fucking grouchy old man that is pissed he cant change his carbamaphone jets to match the headers he installed with his buddy Rusty in the driveway last weekend. BRB, yelling at clouds. Wait, its dark, I cant even see the clouds.
And also, I'm not surprised that millennials dont want to buy cars anymore. I'm glad I enjoy driving, at least.
