I think so and probably the push government is making to get people out of their cars.
Maybe don't blame it on a recession but increases in taxes. Washington state seems to be doing what it can to alienate car drivers. Triple your tab fee? 9? No, 10? No, 11? Well, 12 cents per gallon increase in gas tax? I mean that would only be 70 cents per gallon. How about an excise tax on your high mileage vehicle? How about an excuse tax on you low mileage vehicle?
I know people getting rid of their cars to get their monthly costs down.
that's insane to see perfectly new cars being un-used and just sitting there. the longer thet sit the worse it is for the engine. how would they dispose of it.
I think there was another article by the original author of the story refuting each point in the article you linked but can't remember the name of the article.
