We bought 2 cars late last year, of course the Mark II and also a Toyota Avalon. (Our friends nod knowingly and say, "Yeah, I get it; one for you and one for her." <g>)

I've been thinking about that new car (first for us in over 10 years). It's an amazingly complex machine, and in no way do I consider that a good thing. It strikes me that any number of computer failings would render the car useless. Which brings me to a question: Are we facing a time a few years out when all the cars of today are destined to a residual value of zero? (Just like an old computer, especially one that fails.) Sure seems like it.
