[Isaac Zachary]

I've stopped ecomodding years ago.

I've stopped caring about what car I drive or what car I'll get next. I don't even care if I keep owning a car.

The market has me very depressed. But no more. Sorry for the rant, but I'm sick of all this nonsense. Cars are nonsense already. I'm sick of hearing about how practical and fun and cool they are, because they aren't. I'm sick of being told that these gargantuan behemoths make life so much better.

With the uncertainty of the car and car parts market, the lack of affordable models and the ups and downs of the used car market I just don't want to talk about cars with anyone ever again.

What car you buy is no longer just a fashion statement nor an attempt to prove how rich you are but is also a political statement. Talking about cars is pointless. It's all based on people's highly divided political views and their agendas. Nobody cares about an individual's wants and needs.

So I'm out. I don't want to talk about ecomodding or cars or fuel prices or tariffs or any of the such ever again. I may or may not keep driving my car. I may or may not get another if this one goes past repairability. If there's something in the paper that looks like it might make my life a little easier, I'll think about it to myself for a while before commiting. But I'm not going to come here or anywhere else asking or advice.

I've had a lot of fond memories in my old cars. Lots of trips we enjoyed as a family. Lots of things we got through as a family together thanks to our cars. But now I feel stupid because I own a car. Cars are just depressing.

Thanks to all who have helped me in the past, whether it was choosing a car or figuring out if a screen under the carburetor would get me better fuel mileage or other such things. I wish the best for all of you, including the ones who aren't on this forum anymore either. I hope the best for the economy and president and everything else too. I just don't want to talk about it or even think about it.
