Very expensive cars certainly don't fit that description.
I have relatives who seem to be buying a new BMW every other year because they fall apart and the repairs are more expensive than the payment on a new car. They baby the engine with top-tier fuel and look at all the good that does.
My SO's Chevy, meanwhile, is still running after almost 10 years and over 200k miles. It just does not give a crap and keeps going anyway.
@argv_minus_one @blinken @lindawoodrow now we're butting up against the difference between premium manufacturing and luxury manufacturing... Which is... Well...
I'm from one of those industries and the industries are *not friends*.
