True car people are becoming a thing of the past

How many parents bought their kid a new car back in the day? Pretty common now. The college parking lot is full of 85 to 100,00 dollar cars. Not much incentive to learn about or work on one of those!
I agree. But I came from small town/rural area and only kid that had a new car was the rich one or the ones that had an after school/weekend job and dad paid his insurance maybe. Most farm kids worked on dads tractors/equipment and on his car only if he had to do so as to not be afoot!

Each generation , in general can get softer/lazier and that is due to parents or technology.
