    First off, auto issues and recalls are a dime a dozen in the EU as well. Often for things like airbags which is far more likely to hurt you. Second, around 75k a year was when I felt personally comfortable buying a nicer car but ymmv.

      Well, the person I was replying to said that people allow unsafe cars because the top half live quite well. My point is that the top half includes many people who are financially struggling, and even people doing ok drive the same cars so of course they wouldn’t want them to be unsafe.

      I appreciate the note on the EU though. I imagine most places have similar difficulties in managing auto safety
