vicpescocostanzo.bsky.social @vicpescocostanzo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The solution is simple. Don’t buy any vehicles made after 2019. In fact, don’t buy new when used will do. It’s better to buy a classic car off frame restoration that’s essentially new than a new vehicle for less money and repaired and maintained by small independent mechanics or in your driveway 020
