[00:07:07] <exec> 08└─The article seems to have figured out the answer. Young people today socialize more online so there is less need for transportation, they spend more money on technology instead of a vehicle, and they often are saving money for school or other uses.

[00:07:12] <exec> 08└─Cars today suck. My last Honda lasted me 24 years and was still in great shape when I sold it. My current VW is only 7 years old and it is dying (I can't afford to keep it running). No wonder kids today don't want to buy cars. You will save a lot of money if you can get by without a car.
