My grandmas car - that was handed down to me out of high school - was $2000 new, I found the receipt in the glove box.
Dads car was $4000, I remember sitting on the side of the desk.
My grandma and dad were frugal Germans (other names for that as well....) so those were pretty low value bottom vehicles, but new.
My new pickup was $15,000.
Wife and I bought a new car for $30,000. When they pressured us for extended warranty, they mentioned the drivers seat costs $4000 to replace.
So, in the 30 years from when my grandma bought a new car, to when we bought a new car, the price for transportation went from $2000 to $30,000. And one seat in the car cost double what the entire car cost 30 years previous.

And I know their are many ready to reply they don't get any cable bills.... But that is the exception these days.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
