We have subscription services in cars now.

I'm betting it'll happen either way.

It's a fucking stupid future.

My car has 6 or 7 subscriptions I believe? I lost count.

Maybe for now, but there’s fewer and fewer around. In ten-twenty years time it will be hard to find a 90s car with reasonable mileage.
