Was this law specifically designed to hurt poor people? Sure, some people in poverty purchase new cars. I never understand how they make that happen, but whatever. I came home from Germany with a whole five thousand dollars to purchase a car! That was way more than I ever had before!

I ended up with my Subaru.

Hilarity did not ensue, but a lawsuit did!

Smashing an old and unreliable full-size vehicle and purchasing a new, small, reliable, and efficient car makes some sense, not that I advocate purchasing new, but how many people traded in reliable and efficient cars for full-sized ones that turned out to be unreliable?
