Are movies and TV shows really accurate when it comes to American attitudes towards cars? I remember watching something where a character lamented how old their 5-year-old car was. This simply does not compute to me. My mortgage is less than the equivalent of $1000 USD a month - I’d much rather have an “old” car.
Very much depends on the location, the individual, and their social circle. My parents were kind of like this - they always wanted to “upgrade” their car every 10 years to something bigger or more luxurious.
My friends and I, however, really do not care at all. We’re more proud of how hard and long we can drive a car and still keep it running. I’m shooting for 1,000,000 miles on my Corolla.

Americans do love their cars, yes.
