This is what really gets me. There are some items that IMO should be considered "lifetime" items - car, house, TV...

Marketing makes gullible people feel that they NEED to replace stuff. A car should run forever, if maintained and repaired as necessary. That's not from a tightwad or even impoverished perspective; I just hate that a car that could be maintained and kept on the road is discarded just because people swallow the marketing that ostensibly creates profit/wealth for other people.
