and you're getting far more and far better cars for your money when adjusted for inflation.

Better at getting me from A to B?

Yes… cars now are faster, safer, and more efficient than they were in the 50s.

Even if you discount all the “features” they’ve added the bare necessities of a car are tons better than mid-20th century cars or even late 20th century cars
