Okay but you understand what you call proper maintenance is not the average maintenance. People aren't neglecting their cars, they dont have the time to spend on it. The only people that talk about proper maintenance like you are the people who grew up with a mentor or mechanic in their life.
Having a car make 300k is a sign of privilege or exceptional design.
Those cars in your poverty stricken area were meticulously maintained? Or is it more likely they were just endlessly repaired.
Those are two entirely different arguments. Poor people repair cars because thats their only option.
Poor people dont maintain cars well because they can't afford it. You ride shit until it breaks and fix it the best you can.
Apparently everyone in your neighborhood worked in the auto industry.
