God how old is this?

  Electric bike > Car

  I bet if you really cared tineye could find a noncropped version if one exists. I use it to find "OG" versions of memes without the "shitty twitter joke" picture frames.

- At least a decade plus.

Fuck me there's a tonne of Boomer humour 'i hate my wife' and incel prophecies about relationships in here...

54
- Thanks for calling this out. "Spouse bad" humor can be really toxic. Incel bullshit is always toxic.
  
  21
- Honestly sad, someone supporting their SO in a lovely way being trashed.

  That's not what this is, unfortunately.

- Lots of people are unhappy and want others to be unhappy as them.

Just don't hold it over his head if anything were to ever happen.

- Good point, cars are really heavy.

I plan on doing this for my son when he is ready to save for a car.

25
- To really help him, vote in a direction where not every single human being needs to own a car. This is just silly.

  Fuck off. All you people are doing by showing up in every post mentioning cars is turning people away from your cause.
  
  Don't be like those holier then thou vegans that everyone hates.

  Then also move to where you don’t need a car?

  God damn you anti car people are everywhere. Do they make a spray to repel you people?

What, you're just going to give him five grand? I'm not sure I understand.

16
- To be fair, when this post was new (back in the 18th century) 5 grand would buy you a new house.

  And she couldn't even work a paid job, this mean she has to hustle and make every penny his husband gave her for groceries last to save that money that make this even more impressive.

imagine spending a tenth the money on an e-bike instead and enjoying like.. 1000 fancy restaurant meals?

The fuck is happening with that person's face?

-10
- Nothing? What's even the point of commenting on her appearance? It's not relevant to the topic at all

What? Like a parent does to a child? Really bizarre.

-39
- Clearly you've never been in a meaningful relationship.

  Hahah, no, I've been in adult relationships.
  
  -18
- I give half my money to my wife

Better be a toyota or you both just threw away $5k

-45
- Although Toyota is the GOAT of reliability, there are other manufacturers that score highly on consumer reports too such as Mazda or Subaru.

  Owned all 3, and can confirm they're all super reliable and, depending on models, super fun drives

  Based purely on personal experience, Honda is generally far more reliable than Toyota. Mazdas are very hit or miss and Subaru, while fun as hell to drive and work on, are probably the least reliable of the Japanese manufacturers. But they are all excellent options compared to everything else.

  score highly on consumer reports
  
  Subaru
  
  JD Powers rated #1 for head gasket failure twenty years in the running.
  
  The boxer engine is a fundamentally flawed configuration.

- Don't you drive a BMW, though? You've made it pretty clear in other comments lol

  what is owning multiple cars?
  
  Current garage (backyard) update:
  
  1966 Volvo P1800
  
  1987 BMW 325is E30
  
  1984 Volvo 240 Turbo
  
  1988 Volvo 240 GL
  
  1991 Lexus LS400
  
  1998 Toyota Corolla (summer daily driver, 430k miles, original engine, transmission, suspension, etc.)
  
  2001 BMW E39 M5
  
  2002 Chevrolet S10 (work truck during summer)
  
  2007 Volvo XC90 V8 (winter daily driver, Japanese built V8 engine and transmission, two owners, 130k miles)

- My Honda HRV is generally agreed to last 300k and up to 20 years. I will not consider myself ill-used if it makes it 75% of that.
  
  Maybe even 50%. I buy new sofas, computers, phones, clothes, glasses, mattresses, etc. on a faster cycle.
  
  Even cats and dogs as pets may not live as long.
  
  If I ran a business off my transport maybe I'd feel different, but I'm not that fussed about a car per decade.

  If you go to a Toyota group and tell them your car lasted 300k miles they'd ask what you did to kill it so early
  
  -10
- How are they so damn good? Ive got an old '02 Tacoma with 350k miles on it and the original transmission that I still drive around because the damn thing just keeps going.

  My mechanic was driving an Audi S4 with the same mileage and original clutch and turbos, so one example doesn't prove much...
  
  How's your frame going?

  how are they so good.
  
  Western production "profit worship" systems are literally incompatible with making good products. Toyota has refused to cave to western pressure of creating plastic, planned-obsolescant quote unquote cars.

- Sure grandpa, we still live in 1986

  Please show me one (1) report from the last twenty years that doesn't put Toyota/Lexus in the top for reliability or maintenance costs
