You paid for the car, the insurance, the gas, and the repairs — but real owners are finding out they don’t actually own it. In this video, real owners and mechanics explain the subscription fees for features already installed, a Ford patent that can refuse to shift into drive based on your heart rate, a Bronco that shut down in highway traffic over a late payment, and a manufacturer that sued its own customers for finding a free workaround. And I break down why your name on the title doesn’t mean what you think it means anymore.

    Fuck cars anyway. Even if people own their shitty mobile living room, they’re still going to contribute to climate change because of parking lots and heat islands. Tire shedding is also a major source of pollution. Cars kill a human about every 30 seconds.

    Own your car but still pay regularly to feed it energy, be it gas or electricity, to move a multi ton vehicle everywhere around, and still be dependent on car culture anyway.

    Fuck cars.
