A car is more than just a means of getting from point A to point B: it's also a mobile karaoke stage, a snack storage unit, and the world's most expensive place to have a deep conversation with yourself.

The Facebook page 'Amazing Cars' and the car memes it shares capture this beautifully, reminding us that every vehicle has its own personality.

So whether you own a flashy roadster or a reliable old SUV, continue scrolling and laugh at the automotive world's quirks together.

Overall, car ownership in America is on the rise, and it sounds like these memes should be pretty much universal. Only 8.3% of households in the US did not have a vehicle in 2022.

That year, most households (91.7%) had at least one, 37% of them had two, and another 22.1% of households had three or more.

Over the past five years, new cars have cost $41,531 on average, and used ones were $26,042. That's a 30% price increase for the former and a 40.3% increase for the latter.

However, the contents of such memes and our life on the road can soon become quite different, as the so-called connected cars, vehicles equipped with internet access, are increasingly becoming the norm. By 2030, more than 95% of the passenger cars sold are projected to have embedded connectivity, according to Counterpoint Technology Market Research.

This allows car manufacturers to offer functions related to safety and security, predictive maintenance, and prognostics, but it also opens the door for companies to collect, share, or sell data related to driving habits and other personal information that people may not want to be shared.

That's funny XD I assume the white car is hitched to the RV, as a lot of the time, when you drive to your vacation spot, you still want to have a vehicle you can drive into town/drive to the store with.

Most car manufacturers provide options to opt out of unnecessary data sharing, but as with many other consumer technologies where there is money to be made from the sale of data, these settings are oftentimes buried within menus, according to Counterpoint senior analyst Parv Sharma.

Many consumers simply aren't aware of the fact that their data is being used, or that it’s being used at all.

A Salesforce survey of more than 2,000 car owners and lessors in America discovered that few understand the definition of a connected car and what data is being collected. And while drivers may be willing to trade personal data for some benefits — like advanced personalization and cheaper insurance — not knowing how data is being used could leave consumers vulnerable, industry professionals said.

Okay, so, when I was 16, I bought my first car, an '86 Mazda 323. My friend got me a Jaguar hood ornament off of eBay, and we drilled holes in my hood and mounted the Jaguar hood ornament to it. I used epoxy (Green Stuff for you fellow model-builders) to cement it to my hood. It was awesome! Sadly a year later someone stole it off of my hood while my friend and I were at the mall (we still had those back in the 90s), but it was hilarious while it lasted.

People who, at some point in their lives, have struggled to afford a car, or lived without one, know how complicated life can get without access to a vehicle. Car ownership has always been expensive, but recent trends suggest that it is getting worse.

ADVERTISEMENT

Arizona State University Professor David King and two colleagues, Michael Manville at UCLA and Michael Smart at Rutgers, decided to look at the falling socioeconomic status of carless people in the US.

In a paper published in 2019, they showed that the poverty rate among carless families rose between 1960 and 2014 but at the same time, the number of poor people with a car increased by 20 percent. The way a car unlocks access to almost everything ensures that most people will, despite the costs, do whatever they can to acquire one.

The MX-5 is a hell of a car. The fact it looks like a meme cat is the cherry on top.

What surprised King was how pronounced the income gap between car owners and the carless was in many places of the country. The disparity between an auto-owning household and a carless household was about as large as it is between a homeowner and a renter. “We were really surprised that the relationship is as stark as it is,” King said.

They should have gone with Race Red instead of the Ruby Red Metallic! (I work for a Ford dealer and I’m a paint colour nerd lol)

The 1 in the middle looks mad. Will take the 60's Stang but in burgundy instead of red.

it was okay 30 years ago and not so kosher nowadays. Every gallon of gas you burn is like dumping a 5-pound bag of charcoal out the tailpipe. Muscle cars are passe now, or should be.

That's one of the better re-creations I've seen, right down to them getting the hair/expression/sock levels/stance almost perfect--specifically the guy on the left!

Might be just me, but the new one looks... off, somehow. Like it's AI generated.

I would 100%buy the 60's Mustang if I could afford it! Then my second vehicle would be the modern one- lol!

King also feels that we should increase car availability for low-income people. Yes, they are harmful to the environment, expensive, and loaded with negative externalities. But the individual benefits to low-income people are too great to ignore. “Just because too much driving is bad,” he said, “doesn’t mean we should punish people who’d be better off by driving more.”

Ultimately, cars have become synonymous with freedom, and maybe that's why we're chasing them so much, no matter the cost—they reflect our universal quest for mobility and independence.

Okay, I admit, I have a 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan that is basically shaped like an industrial-size walk-in freezer, but I STILL want to do a chroma/iridescent wrap on it like this car has XD

I have no doubt that the guys at the old construction site I worked at would make it a full on multi-machine rodeo if they could get away with it.

My grandmother used to do that to me all the time. I swore that one of those days I was going to slap her. Never got the opportunity.

Driving home the day before having a new, $1500 water heater installed, then having to spend $2500 on getting the car fixed. What a sucky week.

The closer you get, the slower I go. I can't prevent you from rear-ending me, but I can control at what speed.

Had a dealership mechanic say we needed a new engine ($6000) 2nd opinion, non-dealership, it was just a locked up pulley (about $800) Also separate mechanic, same car, all four windows stopped rolling down at the same time. Dealership mechanic said all four motors burned out, husband said, no thank you. Took it home to inspect further and found the wires severed in the driver door, soldered them back together, good as new! Always get a second opinion!

Conor McGregor is a horrible person in real life AND on social media! At least he's consistent!

A person with enough money to buy that car would probably also be able to build a garage for it if they didn't already have one.
