We Unfortunately Drive Computers Now, Not Cars
What If The Best Cars To Drive Have Already Been Made?
However, as with anything in the known universe, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, no matter what ‘80s John Travolta will tell you. With legislation putting forth mandates for increased complexity in cars over the last three decades, automobiles have become, on average, more than 800 pounds heavier than they were in the late ‘80s.
In addition, car prices have drastically increased over the years, even when inflation is accounted for, fueled in no small part by the added cost of development and implementation of the systems that serve as layers in between the driver and an unfiltered driving experience.
For example, A loaded 1983 Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit GTI cost around $8000 brand new, which translated to just over $19,000 in today’s money. Fast forward to today, where a 2015 Golf GTI with all options ticked would set you back more than $31,000.

So They Financially Screwed Themselves
Why are Middle East countries apparently going broke today over the current price of oil when it was selling in this same range as recently as 2004 (when adjusted for inflation)?
They adjusted their budget to match their income. The Saudis are determined to maintain market share. They are selling the same volume of oil accepting a lower price. So their spending budget is now greater than their income. They have plenty of reserves and they are adjusting their budget slowly.
Imagine if you got a promotion, kept the position for 11 years, and during that time period took out a mortgage, bought an expensive car with big payments, and incurred other large expenses that you didn’t have 11 years prior. Now imagine you lost that job and your salary went back down to what you were earning over a decade ago. You would probably have a hard time paying your big mortgage and expensive car off right?
