I for one would definitely download a car, if I did not already own one I really like.

I'd happily let's others download mine, if it didn't affect me or my car in any way.

Same. Its not a fancy car, but its had no problem in almost a decade and gets good mileage. Download it all you like

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, why the fuck not?

Obviously, something made in a specialized vehicle manufacturing plant will be better/more durable/whatever, but given the option between downloading a car vs spending a year's salary to buy one.... I'd rather download one.

Unless my wages get better (which they are not) or cars get cheaper (which they won't), I'll continue to have this opinion.

There's a nontrivial number of cars that cost more than a house did in the 80's and 90's. So it's entirely possible for someone to spend the same dollar value on their home, when purchasing it in the 90's, as they do 25 years later, buying a house in the 2020's.

Stupid.
