Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And that's why I'm only going to buy classic cars from now on. I can wrench on them myself and tariffs don't make a damn difference
Until you need to buy a parts, I’m rebuilding a truck and watching the prices go up
If you need parts, you go to a junk yard and get parts. No importing needed.
Assuming you drive something like an old civic or tercel.
Junk yards only carry parts for so long. They generally crush and recycle stuff after a certain time. Sure there are still some backwoods places that still have a decent collection, But the vast majority of yards don't have that 2003 pilot gt anymore.
Old cars are built in a way we can fabricate parts to fix them as well. No reliance on china parts to get an entire vehicle running (MAF sensor that only is made in a factory in some obscure country)
A parts, huh?
Still not going to cost me 40-50k and the subsequent stealership costs
If you are really good at what you do you could avoid a lot of the mess by driving a classic. (Scouring junkyards)
The real challenge though isn't just that the parts will have tariffs; It seems like auto parts in general have taken a massive hit in quality
Yep “a parts”, you don’t like it take it up with apples keyboard I’m done fixing it’s “corrections”. No one’s fighting you on new car prices, but just don’t pretend gonna get away without paying the tariffs keeping your classic running.
You paid premium for an iTurd, too, lol.
Great show of intelligence there
And you get to look at the Gulf of America on your equally shit device.
Edit: Apple really can go fuck its modern keyboard and corrections.
“Hey, something shitty is going on.”
“~~omw~~ On my way!”
The hubris is gross, from both major systems.
I just opened up CoMaps because I never actually checked before, and it is in fact the Gulf of Mexico, while google and apple both have "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)". I'm also learning that CoMaps is on the app store, so I guess my takeaway is you should try not to use the default apps on your device.
Keep your classic cars roadworthy and registered.
Legislative changes and requirements for useless and dangerous Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are making it more difficult to keep older cars on the road.
