I think when we will look back at our driving life in the years to come (I'm early 40s) we would see we have been very lucky to own and drive such great cars.
I'm not sure the same can be said for the coming generations, I think the use of cars is going to decrease and owning and driving a car maybe for the wealthy.
We are already being enticed to giving up our cars
Drivers are being offered up to £3,000 ‘in credit’ to give up polluting cars (thesun.co.uk)
Recently I rang BMW garage for a part number because I wanted to ensure I was buying the correct part from the manufacturer (same manufacturer BMW use) and they wouldn't give out a part number - I have never encountered this before
