I am 31 years old right now and the closest thing I have ever bought to a new car was my 2011 Camaro SS with 33k miles in 2020. With the rate that things are going with EV's i think I will keep my car as long as humanly possible and maybe attempt to hoard a few more project cars in my driveway vs. buying anything new. I don't think any of the new EV's are very impressive if I'm being honest, I raced a Tesla Model S on the highway on my way to work and I may not have gapped him or anything but he definitely didn't pass me... Not impressed.

Luckily I live in FL and the EPA regulations basically don't exist here... and if they did 75% of cars here wouldn't be on the road anymore. Until they completely outlaw internal combustion cars, I think I will keep what I have and look for more cars to park in the stable. Even if they do try to outlaw them... I could see some prohibition style protesting happening as car guys refuse to give up what they love.

I hate the EV discussions... Grew up a car guy, raised by car guys, and always wanted to pass that obsession onto my own children. Hoping that ideal is still possible.
