Moving to Minnesota and seeing all of the rusted out vehicles due to salt and other road cleaners was the first thing that made me feel more at home here.
Despite the current regime's desire to stop advancements in transportation, we are already switching to electric vehicles and it will not be long before the older ones will be too expensive to maintain. Just as the computer makers often stop supporting their older models, the gas vehicles will fall before the electric ones, especially once they make the next major breakthrough in power storage.
When a vehicle can run a month without a recharge, even a big rig hauler, all the gas ones will stop being useful in every way.
(Hey MCE! Imagine jumping into that K-whopper and driving away without really hearing a noise at all! Just the gravel crunch and maybe some motor whining if the load is really heavy. Wild, eh? I used to be able to tell you the temp of a diesel engine just from listening to it. (More so farm tractors and trucks, but we had one semi there.) I know you still can. Imagine not having to worry about any of that. The wake created from the vehicle would be louder than the vehicle.)
I hear you about what happened. They really have no idea what they are doing and their lunacy, created while pining for a bygone era, is going to destroy a lot.
