        I don’t have the source handy, but I read an article that said the average road life of a vehicle is 14 years.

        Though, that was pre-Covid, which did a real number on the used auto industry.

        Maybe if there’s a place in OR I can stop on the 5 that doesn’t make me scared I’ll be shot for not being perfectly American Average, I can not even worrying about stopping there as I cruise through in my electric car I’ll buy when Soros pays me all that money he owes me

        Edit: since for some reason I can’t respond to the comment: Multiple times. Most memorable was when I accidentally stopped at a roadside restaurant that gave discounts for open-carry licenses and served the saddest burgers I’ve ever had the displeasure of paying full price for.
