I'm not normally a conspiracy nut but look up the increase in salvage yard fires in the past decade. There's an organized effort to reduce the inventory of spare parts to keep older cars running. They can't monitor you and advertise to you in your older car. Say whatever you want but go ahead and look at the data and start noticing every time it happens

Evidence is the amount of yards that have been on fire this year all over the country compared to the other years. The amount of territory burned and intensity of the fires

Those places are owned by mafia gangsters so getting insurance is the main culprit
