You mean, until you need a new battery but they moved all their employees and factories and batteries to mars and you're SOL.

Vehicles should be made out of stainless steel so they don't rust to hell.
And use those hard plastic panels they use on ATV UTV dirbikes, etc.

The stainless steel would be more expensive but it would last 4x as long and the hard plastic panels would be super cheap to replace.

I get most people will be like, Baler what the heck are you talking about.
Your vehicles 'undercoat' doesn't last as long as you think. Unless you're re-applying it yourself on a regular basis your vehicle is rusting away. This problem would be solved with stainless steel.

Baler plastic panels what kind of clown world do you live in.
Again, you probably got scratches or paint chips which begin allowing the formation of rust. A full metal door or hood is not cheap to replace. Plastic panels don't rust, are cheap to replace and can be painted any thing you want.

But I guess some people enjoy driving a dented rust bucket. what do I know.

Didn't 90's Saturns use that type of hard plastic panel for the outer bodywork so they wouldn't dent and rust? I never owned one of those but I remember people making fun of the "plastic car." I think we'll see a gradual move to stainless construction as the public increasingly expects their cars to last 10+ years. Galvanized is pretty good--cars don't rust out in 3-4 years anymore like they used to in the 70's--but it's not THAT good. Joy...we'll have miserable dreary rolling torture chambers, but they'll last forever. Good idea, 30 years too late.

I drive a dodge 3500 mega cab. It has an insane amount of room.

But I agree with you that most modern cars tend to be smaller.

New trucks these days also cost 50k-100k
