Cars. I doubt I’ll ever buy a new one again. Our most recent is a 10 year old Toyota. Works fine.

Perhaps he's implying that, as with a car, rather than paying big $$$ for the shiny new model one can get from A to B just as well by employing a slightly older model with a few miles on the odometer at a substantial discount.Quote

Implying that scrimping on hookers is OK? Are you nuts?

I used to spend a lot on music, LPs and then CDs. I have pretty much everything I want, and seldom buy anymore. Getting the CDs ripped has also reduced my desire to add to the collection. I still haven’t ripped everything.

They're not just "good enough", some make the name brand look downright shameful.
Yup. This exactly.
but that is mostly for desktops, right? or can you hack portables?

Depends on the car, and how its taken care of. A 10 year old focus is a POS. Used cars are a huge value these days.
Wifes 2010 Mazda 3 w/100K was just feeling its age. Needed lots of new stuff. Already spent $4K on a transmission not long ago. And just dropped $1800 on brakes/tires/other BS.
Picked up a used 2016 Volvo S60 w/17 for under $18K. $40K new. Looks and drives brand new. identical to the 2018 model.

You can, but it is harder to find something where everything works correctly.
