I agree. Its a very modern phenomenon, having to have a new car every 3 years. When I was young in the 80s and 90s, hardly anyone had a new car, unless it was a company car or one was in the upper echoleons of society. My Dad always made do with Reliants and was grateful to have a car. He used to say that he found it funny how people would point and laugh, when they were standing at a bus stop in the pouring rain, while he was in a dry car.
Obviously its a little different when experiencing a disability. People say we are spending £4k a year, but personally I feel that I was given Pip to help cope better with living life, so it doesn’t feel the same to me, than if I was spending £4k a year of money I earned through working.
