Every car I have ever owned since I started driving in the 1990s, I have driven until I can’t anymore. Either they got too old and broke down or something was just so expensive to fix that it wasn’t worth it or someone totaled it. All of them have been bought used as well. And I plan to do it again with my 2016 Prius. I’d love to own an EV, but no way am I going to look into getting one until the Prius isn’t driveable any longer. If that’s more than 12.6 years, so be it.
I can understand the lure of buying a new car. They’re neat and shiny and have features your car doesn’t. But it’s so wasteful and unnecessary. It’s not like upgrading a computer because it won’t work with any modern software and you won’t be able to use the internet. A model A Ford can drive on the same roads as a Tesla assuming it’s been maintained.

There were, and are, funny conservative comedians. Norm McDonald is the first one who comes to mind, but there have been others.
Examples would be P. J. O’Rourke, Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Jeff Foxworthy, Louie Anderson, and my personal favorite, Mike Nelson of Rifftrax and MST3K.
The thing is, none of those comedians were especially political with their humor, or if they were, they hit everyone’s politics, and none of them punched down. They aren’t really conservative comedians, they’re comedians who happen to be conservative.
It’s not that conservative comedians aren’t funny, it’s that what a conservative audience now considers comedy is just someone being mean.
