I completely agree with this. people are living far too long now becuase natural selection can't work while doctors are shoving pills into old people all the time. Especially as they get them all free as well, ridiculous imo.
If you buy a 62 plate car and wear out all 4 tyres in less than about 3 years you're doing something wrong! But no, while the car is still worth several thousand pounds of course a few hundred on tyres isn't a waste. The 306 is worth what, £750 max if it was all working with plenty of T&T...so why the hell spend a lot of money fixing it? Its the same situation with the Golf....I could've fixed it and spent a grand on it....when it would only be worth £2k afterwards...or £2k if I broke it....so why spend a grand on it!? I'm not sure why this is such a difficult thing to understand.
firstly, no your wrong about the natural selection. Most of the drugs they give make the remainder of their lives more comfortable. Very few drugs prolong your life.
Secondly, the skoda was on its 3rd set of tyres when it went back at 3 years. What was i doing wrong tom? It was on 71k so over due its cam belt and pump and a major service weighing in at thousands of pounds. Considering they offered me the car for 7k, is that car destined for the scrap yard at 3 years old just because it needs several grands worth of work?
(and no comments about how it was driven please
